Dry Skin (Japanese: かんそうはだ Dry Skin) is an Ability introduced in Generation IV. Five Pokémon can have this Ability, all of which are dual-types.

Effect

In battle

Dry Skin modifies HP depending on climate. During sunshine, the Pokémon with this Ability will lose 1/8 of their maximum HP at the end of each turn. During rain the Pokémon with Dry Skin will regain 1/8 of their maximum HP at the end of each turn.

In addition, Fire-type attacks do 25% more damage to these Pokémon, while Water-type attacks will have no effect and heal ¼ of their maximum HP instead. As a side-effect of this property an Absorb Bulb will not activate if held by a Pokémon with Dry Skin.

Outside of battle

Dry Skin has no effect outside of battle.
