It's actually the slower Pokemon that will get the weather condition. In all the games, abilities come into play AFTER both Pokemon have been released. Their abilities are also determined by speed. (For example, take Pressure, where the faster Pokemon exhibits the ability first.)

So, for example, if Kyogre were faster than Groudon, Kyogre's would use Drizzle first, after which Groudon (the slower one) would use Drought. So the prevaling weather condition would be Sunshine, not Rain.

This is actually the right answer.  Someone should change the BA.

The answer is WRONG. Both Primal Kyogre and Primal Groudon's abilities are immune to other weather conditions, wether it's caused by a move (sandstorm, drizzle, hail...) or and ability (sand rush, drizzle...) They will FAIL, as long as Primal Kyogre/Groudon is on the field. If Kyogre enters the arena first, Primordial Sea activates and stays as long as he stays put on the field, and any other weather condition fails systematically. Same for Groudon's Desolate Land.

The question is from 2010, so it's not talking about primals. This is also inaccurate, heavy rain/sun can replace each other.
