Strong winds (Japanese: 乱気流 turbulence) are a type of weather introduced in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. They do not appear in the overworld.
Strong winds are created by Delta Stream and last until the summoner is removed from the field (and no other Pokémon with Delta Stream remain on the field), the summoner is rotated out in a Rotation Battle, the summoner has Delta Stream suppressed or replaced, or extremely harsh sunlight or heavy rain is created by Desolate Land or Primordial Sea, respectively.

Effects
In battle
- Strong winds cause moves that would be super effective against the Flying type to only be normally effective against it.
- Outside of Inverse Battles, this causes Electric-, Ice-, and Rock-type moves to deal neutral damage to Flying-type Pokémon.
- During Inverse Battles, this causes Bug-, Fighting-, Grass-, and Ground-type moves to deal neutral damage to Flying-type Pokémon.
- If a move is not super effective against the Pokémon's other type (for dual-typed Pokémon), this no longer counts as a supereffective hit (for the purposes of damage-reducing Berries, Expert Belt, Wonder Guard, etc.).
- This has no effect on Stealth Rock and Anticipation.
- Causes the moves Sunny Day, Rain Dance, Sandstorm, and Hail to fail if used. This cannot be subverted even with Cloud Nine or Air Lock.
- Causes the Abilities Drought, Drizzle, Sand Stream, and Snow Warning to fail. This cannot be subverted even with Cloud Nine or Air Lock.
- Weather Ball remains a Normal-type move during strong winds and does not have its power doubled.
- The moves Moonlight, Morning Sun, and Synthesis continue to recover ½ of max HP, as they do in clear weather.
