The target's Attack stat is lowered even if the user of Strength Sap has full HP. If the target already has -6 Attack, Strength Sap fails; however, if the target of Strength Sap has +6 Attack and the Ability {{a|Contrary}}, Strength Sap will still restore HP. Strength Sap will still restore HP even if the target is protected by {{m|Mist}} or [[Guard Spec.]] or its Attack is not lowered due to the Ability Contrary, {{a|Hyper Cutter}}, {{a|Clear Body}}, {{a|White Smoke}}, {{a|Full Metal Body}}, or {{a|Flower Veil}}. | |||
