When two pokemons with weather setting abilities hit the field, the slower one should overwrite the faster one's weather. For example: Relaxed sand stream tyranitar 0 speed invested, and timid drought ninetales max speed invested are sent to battle, tyranitar's weather (sandstorm) should be the one to take action.

 

So it would be like this:

Ninetales's(faster poke) drought activates > Sun(weather) is set > Tyranitar's(slower poke) sandstream activates > Sandstorm(weather) kicks in.

 

There seems to be a bug that makes faster pokemon to set the weather, which is not the case in pokemon mechanics.

Quote:

''If both Pokemon were sent out at the same time then the slowests Pokemon's weather will stay. This is because the faster one will use it's ability first as usual, meaning it's weather will come out first. So the second one's weather would be deployed second and so forth.''

Yeah there also a bug(a visual one)that the icon shows rain is still active even if it has been replaced by sun(that goes for all weather conditions).

sometimes weather icon is missing (visual bug) , but the effect is still on

Hey Padawan96,

 

After participating in many Smogon Gen 5 weather battles it is safe to say that you are right. If both pokemon sent out have Sand Stream and Drizzle then the slower pokemon's weather should take place.

 

Here is a quote from pokemondb, "If both Pokemon were sent out at the same time then the slowests Pokemon's weather will stay. This is because the faster one will use it's ability first as usual, meaning it's weather will come out first. So the second one's weather would be deployed second and so forth."

 

Shane has recently been fixing a lot of PvP bugs so the best thing we can do is wait and keep an eye out for the fix in the Update Logs. Nice report.
