Raindance is named after Base Set {{TCG ID|Base Set|Blastoise|2}}'s {{TCG|Pokémon Power}}, Rain Dance, which allows the player to attach {{TCG|Water Energy}} cards as often as he or she likes to his or her {{TCG|Water|Water-type}} Pokémon.
==Strategy==
The strategy of Raindance is to take advantage of {{TCG ID|Base Set|Blastoise|2}}'s {{TCG|Pokémon Power}}, Rain Dance, which allows the player to attach {{TCG|Water Energy}} cards as often as they like to their {{TCG|Water|Water-type}} Pokémon. Aside from Blastoise, many other Pokémon are included which also benefit from having large amounts of Water Energy available to do additional damage, such as {{TCG ID|Fossil|Lapras|10}} and {{TCG ID|Fossil|Seadra|42}}, which each have a Water Gun attack which increases in power with the number of Water Energy attached. Trainer cards used to supplement this strategy generally include cards which aid in the retrieval and play of Wartortle and Blastoise (such as {{TCG ID|Base Set|Pokémon Breeder|76}} and {{TCG ID|Base Set|Pokémon Trader|77}}) as well as cards to aid in obtaining more Water Energy in the player's hand (such as {{TCG ID|Base Set|Bill|91}} and {{TCG ID|Fossil|Energy Search|59}}).
