* {{p|Bronzong}} is the only Pokémon able to learn Rain Dance by leveling up that cannot learn any moves or have any [[Ability|Abilities]] that benefit from {{Weather|heavy rain}}. However, it benefits from the reduced power of {{type|Fire}} moves, arguably more so than the others.

**This characteristic exists because of its Pokédex entry, which says that Bronzong has the natural power to summon rain clouds.
