Multi-Weather!
At the start of the battle Hail, Rain and Sun weathers will be active simultaneously for 5 turns.

If one or more of the legendary birds is KO'd, the relevant weather will no longer be activated by their multi-attack.
The effects of these weathers will balance each other out where there is a conflict.
With all three active, Rain + Sun will provide no bonus or penalty to Fire or Water damage, Thunder and Blizzard will not require accuracy checks, Solar Beam will fire instantly at half power, Morning Sun and similar will heal 25%, etc.
