Effect
Generation II onwards

While Rain Dance is on effect, the base power of Water-type moves will be increased by 50% and the base power of Fire-type moves will be decreased by 50%. Also, the moves Synthesis, Morning Sun and Moonlight will recover only 1/4 of the user's maximum HP. Thunder will be 100% accurate under Rain Dance effect.
