Rain (Japanese: あめ Rain) is a weather condition introduced in battle in Generation II. It was introduced in the overworld in Generation III.
Rain will last for five turns if created using Rain Dance or, since Generation VI, Drizzle; it will last eight turns if the user is holding a Damp Rock. If encountered in the overworld or created using Drizzle prior to Generation VI, rain will last until it is replaced.

Variations
Normal rain

Heavy rain
Rains falls heavily, at a lower angle than normal rain. It is found occasionally on Route 212.
Thunderstorm
Rain falls heavily, much like heavy rain does, and occasionally lightning will strike and thunder will rumble. It is found on Route 119 as part of the four-day weather cycle of rain, thunderstorm, rain, and clear. It can be found on Route 212 on occasion. It happens on predetermined days, such as the anniversaries of the game's release in each country. It also appeared on St. Patrick's Day; February 29, 2008; and Christmas Day (December 25). In Pokémon White, after the player obtains the Legend Badge, a thunderstorm will occur on Route 7, where the player may meet Thundurus. After the player has met Thundurus, thunderstorms will occur on whatever route Thundurus is currently roaming on.
Hurricane
Rain falls heavily, although at a normal angle, and periodically strong gusts of wind will blow. It is only found in Pokémon Black. After the player obtains the Legend Badge, a hurricane will occur on on Route 7, where the player may meet Tornadus. After the player has met Tornadus, hurricanes will occur on whatever route Tornadus is roaming on.
