"It's raining" in-battle animation

The raining animation that starts when the battle begins is currently not part of the stock essentials kit so how can I implement it?
I think the question is pretty straightforward and that it needs no further explanation.

Well, yes it is. Its not a good animation, but it's there. Where did you get that idea from, that it was missing?

That's strange, it's not working in my project and the wiki page ( http://pokemonessentials.wikia.com/wiki/Weather ) states that: "Pokémon Essentials currently does not support in-battle weather animations that play while a message states a weather is in effect" so I thought it was normally missing.
In this case something must be interfering and it's my fault.

You can tell weather is there if you use Sandstorm... But sometimes, you can see the rain falling.

That paragraph was added literally over five years ago, and the most recent edit to that page was over two years ago. It's a safe bet it's at least somewhat out of date. I wouldn't take it too literally.

You may have missed the rain animation because the rain drops are so thin and because the animation lasts only half a second. For both of these reasons, I said it was a bad animation. A quick look at the code shows that it plays a common animation called "Rain" at the expected times, and there does exist a common animation of that name.

Thanks, I'll just need to edit the animation it's way easier that I thought.
