Trivia

• Rain Dance is virtually identical to the Pokémon Power of the same name possessed by Base Set Blastoise, a power so strong that it spawned one of the most powerful deck archetypes of the Base Set era. Its inclusion here is interesting as, due to its unbalanced strength, the power had previously returned only in watered down forms such as Blastoise ex's Energy Rain.
• Hydro Crunch, a move that this card can use, is very similar to Feraligatr EX's attack "Sore Spot" from EX Unseen Forces, although a bit weaker.

Origin

Rain Dance is a move in the Pokémon games that Feraligatr can learn, via TM18.
