'''Primordial Sea''' (Japanese: '''はじまりのうみ''' ''Sea of the Beginning'') is an [[Ability]] introduced in [[Generation VI]]. It is the [[signature Ability]] of [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Kyogre}}.

==Effect==
===In battle===
When a Pokémon with Primordial Sea enters the battle or a Pokémon gains the Ability Primordial Sea, the Ability creates heavy rain, a unique variation of [[rain]]. In a [[Rotation Battle]], Primordial Sea will not activate if the Pokémon is sent out in a rotated-out position, nor will it activate if the Pokémon is rotated in. In addition, Primordial Sea will not activate if heavy rain is already present on the battlefield.

Along with the [[Rain#Effects|usual effects]] of rain, heavy rain causes damage-dealing {{type|Fire}} moves to fail. Additionally, heavy rain causes the weather modifying moves {{m|Sunny Day}}, {{m|Rain Dance}}, {{m|Sandstorm}}, and {{m|Hail}} to fail if used, and causes the Abilities {{a|Drought}}, {{a|Drizzle}}, {{a|Sand Stream}}, and {{a|Snow Warning}} to fail to activate.

The heavy rain will lift if the Pokémon is removed from the field (and no other Pokémon with Primordial Sea remain on the field), if the Pokémon is rotated out in a Rotation Battle, if the Pokémon has its Ability suppressed or replaced, or if the Abilities {{a|Desolate Land}} or {{a|Delta Stream}} activate.
