Dry Skin (Japanese: かんそうはだ Dry Skin) is an Ability introduced in Generation IV.
Effect
In battle
During harsh sunlight, a Pokémon with Dry Skin will lose ⅛ of its maximum HP at the end of each turn. During rain, a Pokémon with Dry Skin will regain ⅛ of its maximum HP at the end of each turn.
Fire-type attacks do 25% more damage to a Pokémon with Dry Skin.
When a Pokémon with Dry Skin is hit by a Water-type move, its HP is restored by one quarter of its maximum HP, and the move will have no effect on that Pokémon (if a Pokémon with this Ability already has full HP, the Water-type move will do nothing). This effect will not activate if the Pokémon is protected from the Water-type move.
If a Pokémon with Dry Skin is holding an Absorb Bulb or Luminous Moss, Dry Skin absorbs the Water-type move so the item's effect is not triggered.
Outside of battle
Dry Skin has no effect outside of battle.

Water-type moves and Rain restore its HP. Fire-type moves and Sunny weather damage it.* If it is hit with a Water-type move or the weather condition is Rain, the Pokémon's HP is restored! But if the weather condition is Sunny, it will gradually take damage. Fire-type moves do more damage!*

If it is hit with a Water-type move, the Pokémon's HP is restored! Rain or heavy rain helps the Pokémon restore HP naturally. But the Pokémon doesn't do well when it's sunny or in harsh sunlight.
