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 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 usual effects of rain, heavy rain causes damage-dealing Fire-type moves to fail. Additionally, heavy rain causes the weather modifying moves Sunny Day, Rain Dance, Sandstorm, and Hail to fail if used, and causes the Abilities Drought, Drizzle, Sand Stream, and 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 Desolate Land or Delta Stream activate.
