Storm Drain (Japanese: よびみず Pump Priming) is an ability introduced in Generation IV. Four Pokémon have this ability, all of which are Template:Type2.
Effect
In battle
Storm Drain is only effective in double battles, and a Pokémon with this ability will force all single-target Template:Type2 attacks used by other Pokémon to exclusively strike it, including those used by allies. Water-type moves have 100% accuracy whether they are aimed at a Storm Drain user or not.
In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2, a Pokémon with Storm Drain draws in all enemy Water-type attacks, and their damage/effect is completely neutralized.
Outside of battle
Storm Drain has no effect outside of battle.

Trivia
Unlike with Lightningrod, no types are immune to Water, therefore, the four Pokémon with this ability take half or full damage from Water attacks, rendering it less useful in general than a Template:Type2 with Lightningrod.
