 ===In battle===
-Defiant raises the user's {{stat|Attack}} stat by two stages for each stat lowered by an opponent, including the Attack stat, even if reduced by Abilities, like {{a|Intimidate}}. This does not include self-induced stat drops like those from {{m|Close Combat}}. Defiant will not activate if the user's stat is lowered by an ally in [[Double Battle|Double]] and [[Triple Battle]]s. If the user is holding a White Herb and a stat other than Attack is lowered, Defiant will trigger before the White Herb, so the user will receive the Attack boost and the lowered stat will be restored.
+When a stat of a Pokémon with this Ability is lowered by an opponent, its {{stat|Attack}} is increased by two stages. Defiant will not activate if the Pokémon with this Ability lowers its own stats (such as with {{m|Close Combat}}) or if its stats are lowered by an ally.
+If the Pokémon with this Ability is holding a [[White Herb]], if a stat other than Attack is lowered, Defiant will trigger before the White Herb, so the user will receive the Attack boost and then the lowered stat will be restored. If its Attack is lowered, Defiant will activate first, increasing its Attack so that the White Herb cannot activate.
