Deluge (move)

Deluge (Japanese: だいこうずい, Great Flood) is a damage dealing Water-type move created by WD for Generation C.

It is Kyogre's signature move.

Effect
Deluge can only be chosen during rainy weather. On the first turn after choosing Deluge a message will declare that "The rain is picking up"; on the following turn, unless the weather condition has changed, a message will say that "The rain is pouring down". On the third turn after choosing Deluge a great flood will swamp the field, hitting and dealing damage to every Pokémon on the field except for the user, regardless of weaknesses or resistances.

Because this move does not take types into effect, Kyogre does not receive STAB when using it.
