Finding Happiness on Rainy Days
Sept 6, 2007
Our look at the various weather aspects in Pokemon continues! Last week, we澳擲幸čæ5å¼å„å·ē åå²ę„询:checked out the sun. This time around we're going to look at the rain. While many people associate the rain with dull and dreary days, having a bit of precipitation in your Pokemon battles can be a glorious thing. With the proper understanding, the right Pokemon, and the right moves, you can make it pour when it rains... pour a whole loš¼t of hurtin' on your opponent that is!
Thereš are a few areas in the game that aāØre in a perpetual state of precipitation. If you're not adventuring in one of these areas then there are a few ways to make it rain. First, Pokemon with the Drizzle ability bring rain wherever they go (which makes them quite unwanted at parties). Secondly, Pokemon that know the move Rain Dance (TM 18) can summon some delightful drops of dew.
In case you haven't figured it ošut, rain is quite a boon to water moves; it boosts their power by 50 percent. Naturally, it also puts a damper on fire moves, decreasing their power by 50 percent. It alsoā gives an amazing boost to Thunder, raising its accuracy to 100 percent.
