:I wonder how the game actually does the swap. Maybe it just alters the calculations to use the opposite stat, in which case the attack boosts would apply to the defense, but when Swords Dance is used it may still record it as having six attack boosts, and so won't make it any higher. Some more testing would be needed to check that, but I'm not sure exactly how one would do such testing. <sc>[[User:Werdnae|<span style="color:#2D4B98;">Werdnae</span>]]</sc> <small>[[User talk:Werdnae|<span style="color:#009000;">(talk)</span>]]</small> 09:27, 2 June 2010 (UTC) | :I wonder how the game actually does the swap.

::I tested as far as I thought would be thorough. My Gliscor's Defense (151) is a good chunk higher than her Attack (132). I used Swords Dance x3 and Power Trick in a wild battle. I went to use Swords Dance again, it fails, wild poke hits for more damage than before Power Trick, even though the Defense should be 132 + 6 stages. Rinse, repeat, repeat without swords dance, and comparable damage each time, regardless of Swords Dance use.

:::Hmm. [http://veekun.com/dex/moves/power%20trick Veekun] says that the ''original stats'' are swapped, and [http://www.smogon.com/dp/moves/power_trick Smogon] says that the ''Attack and Defense boosts are still applied to their stat'', so it looks like you are exactly right, this page is wrong. I've changed it, but feel free to modify it to your liking and thanks for bringing it up. <sc>[[User:Werdnae|<span style="color:#2D4B98;">Werdnae</span>]]</sc> <small>[[User talk:Werdnae|<span style="color:#009000;">(talk)</span>]]</small> 09:56, 2 June 2010 (UTC) | |||
