If there is harsh sunlight, the Power Herb will not be consumed. If a Pokémon holding a Power Herb uses SolarBeam, it will consume the Power Herb to execute SolarBeam in one turn. SolarBeam will also have its power halved if used during hail, fog or when a sandstorm is raging. If SolarBeam is disrupted from succeeding due to conditions such as flinching, paralysis, or confusion, the entire move will now be cancelled rather than simply paused. If the user is prevented from attacking with SolarBeam during harsh sunlight by conditions such as flinching, paralysis, and confusion, then PP will still be deducted regardless, due to the fact that SolarBeam was designed as a two-turn attack. It will have its power halved if used during rain. SolarBeam will not need a turn to charge if used during harsh sunlight. In Pokémon Stadium, Mirror Move will copy SolarBeam on either of the turns it takes to execute. Sleep, freezing, partial trapping, and flinching will pause, but not disrupt, the duration of SolarBeam.

If the target uses Mirror Move during the turn that the user takes in sunlight, Mirror Move will copy the move that the user executed immediately before using SolarBeam (or fail if it can't). If SolarBeam is not fully executed, PP will not be deducted from it, and it will not count as the last move used. Once SolarBeam is selected, the user will not be able to switch out until it is disrupted or fully executed. On the following turn, SolarBeam will inflict damage, PP will be deducted from it, and it will count as the last move used. SolarBeam does nothing on the turn it is selected, other than state that the user has taken in sunlight. Reason: Is the power of Solar Beam affected by shadowy aura (like it is by rain, hail and sandstorm)? You can discuss this on the talk page. This move effect may be in need of research. 6.9 Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!.6.6 Pokémon - The Legend of the Dragon King.Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.
