In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, Blizzard has a 30% chance to bypass Protect and Detect in hail, but starting in Pokémon Platinum, Blizzard can no longer bypass them. In Generation III, during a Double Battle, Blizzard targets both foes. As of Generation IV, during a Double Battle, Blizzard targets all Pokémon around the user. In a Triple Battle, Blizzard only targets adjacent foes.
