How to use it
Any Ice-type attack becomes Max Hailstorm while its user is Dynamaxed. It’s physical or special, as that move is, and its power comes from that move’s. Dynamax is in Sword & Shield, not in Pokémon Champions.
Gigantamax forms with a G-Max Move of this type use that instead: G-Max Resonance.

How it works in Gen VIII
Power is equal to the base move's Max Move power. If this move is successful, the effect of Hail begins. This effect does not happen if the user is not Dynamaxed. If this move is used as a base move, it deals damage with a power of 0.
“This is an Ice-type attack Dynamax Pokémon use. The user summons a hailstorm lasting five turns.”
