6 days ago Maybe it just be a regular extending effect that increases duration by 1 or 2 turns for every instance of the item you have, up to 5 or 3 respectively, would already massively useful.
Also, regardin weather (and terrain) it should always restart at the beginning of trainer fights at least
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Weather and Terrain based teams and strategies are currently a bit weak since the items that extend their duration don't currently exist. After the addition of Toxic and Flame Orbs I believe the same logic could be used to implement weather and terrain items.
Describe the Feature
Add the 4 weather rocks (Damp Rock, Heat Rock, etc) and Terrain Extender as items you can obtain during runs if any of your party members have abilities or moves to set them (for example you can roll Damp Rock if you have pokemon with Drizzle or Rain Dance).
My suggestion is to make it an item that can be stacked up to 2 times. First stack increases duration from 5 to 8 turns, like Gen 6-9. Second stack makes the weather permanent unless replaced by other (like Gen 1-5 mechanics). Regardless, the weather and terrain are still reset on biome change like every field effect.
