Hail is a weather-affecting Ice-type move introduced in Generation III that generates a hailstorm, which damages all Pokémon on the battlefield except for Pokémon with the ability Ice Body which heals the Pokémon by Hail instead, and Ice-type Pokémon. It only lasts 5 turns, but this duration can be extended if the user is holding an Icy Rock. It is TM07 since Generation III.
