Rain Dance is a Water-type status move with no power or accuracy value since it does not inflict damage directly. This move changes the weather condition to rain for five turns (or eight turns if the user holds a Damp Rock). During rain, the power of Water-type moves is increased by 50%, and the power of Fire-type moves is decreased by 50%. Additionally, certain abilities, like Swift Swim, Rain Dish, and Dry Skin, are activated or enhanced in rain, and moves like Thunder and Hurricane gain perfect accuracy. Rain Dance is a versatile move often used in weather-based strategies to boost Water-type attacks and support Pokémon with abilities or moves that benefit from rainy conditions.
