As you can see, Rain Dance is infinitely more useful, as it has several additional effects that can benefit all kinds of Pokemon. Water Sport is basically useless and will never warrant wasting a turn and moveslot to use it. The only time it would make sense to use Water Sport over Rain Dance on a team is if there aren’t any Pokemon that benefit from Rain Dance’s additional effects and there are Pokemon with Synthesis, Morning Sun or Moonlight, but it still wouldn’t serve any purpose, unless you’re running a mono weak to Fire team I guess.TL;DR: Don’t use Water Sport. Ever.
Basic difference is that some Pokemon have abilities that revolve around rain dance that water sport won’t help with. I was however unaware that water sport boosted water moves. I thought it only weakened fire.
