When a Pokémon with Quark Drive is on the field and {{m|Electric Terrain}} is active, or the Pokémon 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, Quark Drive breaks the tie by prioritizing {{stat|Attack}}, {{stat|Defense}}, {{stat|Special Attack}}, {{stat|Special Defense}}, and Speed, in that order.

If multiple stats are tied for highest, Quark Drive breaks the tie by prioritizing physical Attack, physical Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed, in that order.


Quark Drive will activate even if the Pokémon is not [[grounded]]. Electric Terrain will activate Quark Drive before a held Booster Energy, so the Booster Energy will not be consumed if the Pokémon with Quark Drive is on Electric Terrain.

Quark Drive cannot be copied by {{a|Receiver}} and {{a|Trace}} or replaced by {{a|Lingering Aroma}}. If a Pokémon obtains Quark Drive with {{a|Imposter}} or {{m|Transform}}, the Ability will not activate regardless of if the Pokémon is on Electric Terrain or holding a Booster Energy.

* The greatest difference between a Pokémon’s individual base stats so that this Ability can activate for any stat without external stat changes is 72 points. This assumes that maximum effort values, 31 individual values and a helpful nature was applied to the lowest stat and 0 effort and individual values with a hindering [[nature]] to the highest stat.
* Because of how the stat calculations work due to their base stats, the following Pokémon cannot have Quark Drive boost the following stat in battle without stat changes taking place. This accounts for with negative [[Nature]] and 0 individual and effort values applied to the stat that will be higher by default and a positive nature, 31 individual values and maximum effort values applied to the stat that cannot be increased.
** {{p|Iron Bundle}} cannot increase Special Defense as its Speed will always be higher.
** {{p|Iron Hands}} cannot increase Special Attack or Speed as its Attack will always be higher.
** {{p|Iron Moth}} cannot increase Defense as its Special Attack will always be higher.
