How does Mold Breaker interact with Cloud Nine?

Jul. 5, 2024

For example, if Mega Ampharos used Sunny Day against a Golduck with Cloud Nine, would the weather turn sunny? Asking because my brain is melting because I’m thinking about the interactivity between abilities and weather. + Mold Breaker and Cloud Nine include all abilities with same effects.

Firstly, Cloud Nine does not cancel out weather, it cancels out its effects. So weather can always be set up if there is Cloud Nine active it just wouldn’t do anything.Naturally, the next question which comes to mind is whether the weather set by a Pokemon with Mold Breaker be active. The answer isNO, because Mold Breaker doesn’t disable the opponent’s ability, it skips the ability check while using a move on a Pokemon. Since weather moves and Cloud Nine both apply on the field not a Pokemon, Mold Breaker has no effect on them. However an ability that disables the opponent’s ability (Neutralizing Gas) does stop Cloud Nine from removing the effect of weather.
