Effect

Make It Rain inflicts damage and lowers the user's Special Attack by one stage. In a battle with multiple opponents, Make It Rain will target all adjacent opponents.

For each target the move hits, coins are scattered on the ground. $5 multiplied by the user's level are scattered each time. No coins are scattered in Tera Raid Battles. If the player wins the battle, they will pick up all the scattered coins and receive the total money amount. The amount of money from Make It Rain is doubled if any of the player's Pokémon takes part in battle while holding an Amulet Coin or Luck Incense; however, this effect can only be applied once, regardless of how many additional Pokémon hold this item. Having more than one Pokémon holding the item does not increase the money amount any further.

Trivia

• "Make it rain" is an idiom in the English language which means to make wealth or to show off wealth; in the latter sense, it often refers to the act of throwing money into the air, to make it appear as if it is raining money. Due to this, despite its English name, this move does not actually summon rain.
  • The move's rename in English from the Japanese name "Gold Rush" may be due to a naming conflict with G-Max Gold Rush, a G-Max Move introduced in Pokémon Sword and Shield.
• This move originated as a TCG attack.
