Hydration (Japanese: うるおいボディ Moist Body) is an Ability introduced in Generation IV. Eighteen Pokémon can have this Ability, nine of them through the Dream World only.

Effect

In battle

Hydration cures any status ailment that the Pokémon with this Ability has after each turn when it is raining, even self inflicted status such as from using Rest. This is the main difference between Hydration and the similar Ability Leaf Guard, which only prevents non-volatile statuses (meaning that it does not cure an already existing status ailment).

Outside of battle

Hydration has no effect outside of battle.
