'''Rain''' (Japanese: '''あめ''' ''Rain'') is a [[weather conditions|weather condition]] introduced in battle in [[Generation II]]. It was introduced in the overworld in [[Generation III]].

Rain will last for five turns if created using {{m|Rain Dance}} or, since [[Generation VI]], {{a|Drizzle}}; it will last eight turns if the user is holding a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Damp Rock}}. If encountered in the overworld or created using Drizzle prior to Generation VI, rain will last until it is replaced.

A variation of rain called heavy rain can also be created in battle by {{a|Primordial Sea}}. Heavy rain lasts as long as its summoner is in battle.

===Heavy rain===

In battle, this only causes the normal rain weather condition, not heavy rain.

Rain falls heavily, much like heavy rain does, and occasionally lightning will strike and thunder will rumble. It is found on {{rt|119|Hoenn}} as part of the four-day weather cycle of rain, thunderstorm, rain, and clear. It can be found on Route 212 on occasion. It happens on predetermined days, such as the anniversaries of the game's release in each country. It also appeared on {{wp|St. Patrick's Day}}; February 29, 2008; and Christmas Day (December 25). In [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon White]], after the player obtains the {{badge|Legend}}, a thunderstorm will occur on {{rt|7|Unova}}, where the player may meet {{p|Thundurus}}. After the player has met Thundurus, thunderstorms will occur on whatever route Thundurus is currently roaming on.

Rain falls heavily, although at a normal angle, and periodically strong gusts of wind will blow. It is only found in {{game3|Black and White|Pokémon Black|s}}. After the player obtains the {{badge|Legend}}, a hurricane will occur on on {{rt|7|Unova}}, where the player may meet {{p|Tornadus}}. After the player has met Tornadus, hurricanes will occur on whatever route Tornadus is roaming on.
