pelipper / rain question

[MosesBrenner]

1. Round Pelipper vs pokemon X  - Pelipper sets up rain (Drizzle)   -Pelipper uses Surf and opponent is switching to tyranitar.

 

My question: Does the the bonus rain dmg of +50% count for the surf attack to tyranitar or not? I am really confused, cause tyranitar is setting up sandsturm, but in the moment pelipper used surf he had that rain bonus.

No, the damage boost only applies if the move occurs in the rain. In fact tyranitar ends up with boosted sp.def when the sand happens because rock type in sand, so you do even less damage than a normal surf.
