===In battle===
* Increases the power of {{type|Water}} moves by 50%.
* Decreases the power of {{type|Fire}} moves by 50%.
* Allows {{m|Thunder}} and {{m|Hurricane}} to bypass accuracy check.
** In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, allows {{m|Thunder}} to hit through {{m|Protect}} and {{m|Detect}} 30% of the time.
* Activates the following {{Abilities}}: {{a|Dry Skin}}, {{a|Forecast}}, {{a|Hydration}}, {{a|Rain Dish}}, {{a|Swift Swim}}.
** Causes Forecast to change {{p|Castform}} to its [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Castform|Rainy Form]].
* Changes {{m|Weather Ball}} to a {{type|Water}} move and doubles its power.
* Halves the power of {{m|Solar Beam}} and {{m|Solar Blade}}.
* Causes {{m|Moonlight}}, {{m|Synthesis}}, and {{m|Morning Sun}} to recover ¼ of max {{stat|HP}} (half the normal amount in [[Generation II]]).
* In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]], prevents Pokémon from exploding.
====Heavy rain====
* Causes {{type|Fire}} damaging moves to fail if used (including {{cat|moves that change type}}, if they would be Fire-type).
** If a Pokémon affected by {{m|Powder}} uses a Fire-type move, it will take damage from Powder.
** If a Pokémon attempts to use {{m|Natural Gift}} while holding a [[Berry]] that makes the move Fire-type, the Berry is not consumed.
** If a {{status|freeze|frozen}} Pokémon attempts to use a Fire-type move that {{cat|Moves that thaw out the user|would thaw itself}} (such as {{m|Flame Wheel}}), it will still thaw itself before the move fails.
* Causes the moves {{m|Sunny Day}}, {{m|Rain Dance}}, {{m|Sandstorm}}, and {{m|Hail}} to fail if used. This cannot be subverted even with {{a|Cloud Nine}} or {{a|Air Lock}}.
** If a Pokémon affected by {{m|Powder}} uses Sunny Day, it will take damage from Powder.
* Causes the Abilities {{a|Drought}}, {{a|Drizzle}}, {{a|Sand Stream}}, and {{a|Snow Warning}} to fail. This cannot be subverted even with {{a|Cloud Nine}} or {{a|Air Lock}}.
===Outside of battle===
{{p|Sliggoo}} will evolve into {{p|Goodra}} when leveled up while it is raining or [[fog]]gy in the overworld.
From {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} to {{g|X and Y}}, {{m|Sweet Scent}} and [[Honey]] will fail if it is raining in the area, or if any other type of weather is present. In the [[Generation III]] games and {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Sweet Scent and Honey are unaffected by the weather.
==Variations==
===Normal rain===
Rain falls. Found in all places where rain is found on the field.
===Strong rain===
Rains falls heavily, at a lower angle than normal rain. It is found occasionally on {{rt|212|Sinnoh}} and [[Exeggutor Island]].
The difference from normal rain is purely aesthetic.
===Heavy rain===
Rain falls heavily and chaotically, with strong winds whipping through the air. This variation only occurs in the field when {{p|Kyogre}} awakens in [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Pokémon Alpha Sapphire]], or in the [[Battle Agency]].
===Thunderstorm===
Rain falls heavily, much like strong 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 {{rt|212|Sinnoh}} 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.
===Strong storm===
Rain falls heavily, although at a normal angle, and periodically strong gusts of wind will blow, like as if a real life tornado or hurricane is occurring. It is only found in {{game3|Black and White|Pokémon Black|s}}. After the player obtains the {{badge|Legend}}, a strong storm will occur on {{rt|7|Unova}}, where the player may meet {{p|Tornadus}}. After the player has met Tornadus, strong storms will occur on whatever route Tornadus is roaming on.
