Slow Start causes the {{stat|Attack}} stat and {{stat|Speed}} stat to be halved during the first five turns in battle. If this Pokémon is switched out, its stats will once again be halved for the first five turns when it is sent out again. | Slow Start causes the {{stat|Attack}} stat and {{stat|Speed}} stat to be halved during the first five turns in battle.

If {{m|Skill Swap}} or {{m|Gastro Acid}} is used on this Pokémon, its stats will immediately return to full power. However, the user of Skill Swap will have its Attack and Speed stats halved. | |||
In the Japanese version of {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, removing Slow Start does not undo the Attack and Speed drop; it must still wait 5 turns. This was fixed in translated versions as well as in {{v2|Platinum}}. | In the Japanese version of {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, removing Slow Start does not undo the Attack and Speed drop; it must still wait 5 turns.
