When a Pokémon with Protosynthesis is in {{weather|harsh sunlight}} or is holding [[Booster Energy]], its highest [[stat]] (other than [[HP]] and taking into account [[Stat modifier|stat stages]], but not [[held item]]s) is increased by 30%, or 50% if {{stat|Speed}} is the highest stat. Upon activation, a message tells which stat is increased to all the players. If multiple stats are tied for highest, Protosynthesis breaks the tie by prioritizing physical Attack, physical Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed, in that order.

Protosynthesis will activate in harsh sunlight even if the Pokémon is holding a [[Utility Umbrella]]. Harsh sunlight will activate Protosynthesis before a held Booster Energy, so the Booster Energy will not be consumed if the Pokémon with Protosynthesis is in harsh sunlight.
