Effect

In battle

When a Pokémon with Primordial Sea enters battle or a Pokémon gains the Ability Primordial Sea, the Ability creates heavy rain, a unique variation of rain. The heavy rain lasts as long as the Pokémon with Primordial Sea is in battle with the Ability.

Along with the usual effects of rain, heavy rain causes damage-dealing Fire-type moves to fail, along with the weather modifying moves Sunny Day, Rain Dance, Hail and Sandstorm. It also causes the Abilities Drought, Drizzle, Sand Stream and Snow Warning to fail to activate.

If Primordial Sea is suppressed or replaced, the heavy rain it causes will disappear. If another Pokémon in battle has the Ability Desolate Land or Delta Stream, the dominant weather conditions will be determined by whichever Ability activated last.
