Drought (Japanese: ひでり Drought) is an Ability introduced in Generation III. Prior to Generation V, it was the signature Ability of Groudon.

Effect

In battle

Generations III to V

Drought summons harsh sunlight in battle as soon as a Pokémon with Drought enters the battle. Its effects are the same as the move Sunny Day, but instead of lasting for a limited amount of turns, it lasts for the whole battle (unless it is replaced by another weather condition). If a Pokémon with Drought 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 sunlight now lasts only for five turns. This can be extended to eight turns if the Pokémon is holding a Heat Rock.

If heavy rain, extremely harsh sunlight, or strong winds are present, Drought will fail to activate.

Outside of battle

Drought has no effect outside of battle.
