Drizzle (Japanese: あめふらし Rainfall) is an Ability introduced in Generation III. Prior to Generation V, it was the signature Ability of Kyogre.
Effect
In battle
Generations III to V
Drizzle summons rain in battle as soon as a Pokémon with Drizzle enters the battle. Its effects are the same as the move Rain Dance, but instead of lasting for a limited amount of turns, it lasts for the whole battle (unless it is replaced by another type of weather). If a Pokémon with Drizzle is sent out in the same turn as another Pokémon whose Ability affects the weather, the slower Pokémon's Ability will override the faster Pokémon's Ability.
Generation VI
The rain now lasts only for five turns. This can be extended to eight turns if the Pokémon is holding a Damp Rock.
If heavy rain, extremely harsh sunlight, or a mysterious air current is present, Drizzle will fail to activate.
Outside of battle
Drizzle has no effect outside of battle.
