Bug and run weather

Check attack damage separately from the partner’s weather protection. The table shows modifiers from the checked implementation; a second type also determines protection.

WeatherAttack damage of this typeAdditional effect
Sandstorm×1Weather damage unless the partner also has Rock, Ground or Steel.
Snowfall×1Weather damage and up to 10% slower movement unless the partner has Ice as its other type.

Multipliers shown at full weather intensity; they transition gradually as weather starts and ends. ×1 means no change to this attack type’s damage. Weather protection checks both of the partner’s types.
