Every desert is different. The Atacama sometimes goes for centuries with no rain while other deserts have an annual rainy season and may receive some rain a few days each week, mainly in the summer months.
A desert is a very dry area with little rain, typically receiving less than 250 millimeters of rain per year. Examples of deserts include the Sahara in Africa, the Arabian Desert in the Middle East, and the Atacama Desert in South America.
341 millimeters = 13.425 inches.
It depends on how much rain there is in the desert.
The Kaʻu desert is not a true desert in that rainfall exceeds 1,000 millimeters (39 in) per year. It appears as a desert because it receives acid rain caused by volcanic activity and few plants will survive in the high acidity of the soil.

Your question makes no sense. Rainfall is not measured in percent but in inches or millimeters. I desert is defined as a region that receives less than 10 inches (260 mm) of rainfall per year on average.
Are you sure you are not referring to a 'rain shadow' desert? I find no reference to a 'rain shower' desert.
how much rain does the desert get
It does rain there but it is rare. There are a few areas that have not measured any rain since Europeans arrived in the 1500s. Other areas experience a few millimeters of rain on average. To say it never rains there is close but not quite true.
A desert is defined as a region that receives less than 10 inches (250 mm) of rainfall on average per year. Some deserts receive virtually no precipitation for years.
The Atacama Desert in Chile is one of the driest places on Earth, receiving only a few millimeters of rain per year. Antarctica is another region where rainfall is extremely low due to its cold temperatures and dry climate.
