Drizzle (Ability) - Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokmon encyclopedia

From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.

Drizzle (Japanese: あめふらし Rainfall) is an Ability introduced in Generation III. Prior to Generation V, it was the signature Ability of Kyogre.

Effect

In battle

Generations III to V

Drizzle summons rain in battle as soon as a Pokémon with Drizzle enters the battle. Its effects are the same as the move Rain Dance, but instead of lasting for a limited amount of turns, it lasts for the whole battle (unless it is replaced by another type of weather). If a Pokémon with Drizzle is sent out in the same turn as another Pokémon whose Ability affects the weather, the slower Pokémon's Ability will override the faster Pokémon's Ability.

Generation VI onward

The rain now lasts only for five turns. This can be extended to eight turns if the Pokémon is holding a Damp Rock.

Rain called by Drizzle does not allow Sliggoo to evolve into Goodra.

Drizzle will not activate if the Pokémon it's on is a Kyogre that's in position to undergo Primal Reversion; in that case the Primal Reversion will happen instead, its ability will be replaced by Primordial Sea, and only that ability will activate. Drizzle will also fail to activate if heavy rain, extremely harsh sunlight, or strong winds are already in effect.

Outside of battle

Drizzle has no effect outside of battle.

The current iteration of the attack as of the Legends Awakened expansion instead allows the player to attach up to 2 Water Energy cards from their hand to 1 of their Pokémon.
