Revision as of 11:51, 4 March 2017 by Nescientist(talk | contribs)(→In battle: confirmed these (and stat stages, just to be sure) with Metal Powder Ditto, Acid Spray'd Sassy Shuckle, paralyzed Milotic in BW (that "in case of a tie" is now technically redundant, but maybe better safe than sorry here?))
This move effect may be in need of research. Reason:Does it take into account non-adjacent Pokémon's defensive stats in Triple Battles? How does it work in Battle Royals? You can discuss this on the talk page.
Download raises either the Attack stat or Special Attack stat by one stage depending on the foe's lowest current defensive stat: it will raise Attack if the foe's current Defense is lower than its current Special Defense stat, and Special Attack otherwise.
For determining which of the foe's defensive stat is lower, Download takes into account stat stages and the effect of Power Trick; however, it does not consider the effects of held items, Abilities such as Marvel Scale, or Wonder Room. In case of a tie between the foe's Defense and Special Defense, Download increases Special Attack.
During a Double Battle, Download will add the two opposing Pokémon's stats and calculate the lower stat between both.
