This Ability inverts all changes to the stat stages of a Pokémon with this Ability; if an effect would lower a stat, it is increased instead, and if an effect would increase a stat, it is decreased instead. | This Ability inverts all changes to the stat stages of a Pokémon with this Ability; if an effect would lower a stat, it is increased instead, and if an effect would increase a stat, it is decreased instead. Effects that change a Pokémon's stats without affecting stat stages, such as {{status|burn}} and {{status|paralysis}}, are not affected by Contrary. | ||
This also applies to self-inflicted changes, such as {{m|Curse}} and {{m|Leaf Storm}}. This Ability only inverts the changes when they are applied; it does not passively cause all existing changes to reverse; therefore, if the Ability Contrary is no longer in effect or the stats are {{m|Baton Pass}} | This also applies to self-inflicted changes, such as {{m|Curse}} and {{m|Leaf Storm}}. This Ability only inverts the changes when they are applied; it does not passively cause all existing changes to reverse; therefore, if the Ability Contrary is no longer in effect or the stats are passed by {{m|Baton Pass}}, all existing stat stage changes remain the same. Stats passed by Baton Pass onto a Pokémon with Contrary are not reversed. | ||
Stat stage increases caused by the Z-Power effects of [[status move|status]] [[Z-Move]]s are not inverted by Contrary. However, the stat stage increases as a result of {{m|Extreme Evoboost}} are inverted. | |||
{{m|Mist}} (including from {{DL|Battle item|Guard Spec.}}) and {{a|Flower Veil}} take into account Contrary's inversion before determining whether to block the stat change. For example, if a Pokémon with Contrary is targeted by {{m|String Shot}} while protected by Mist, it will gain Speed; if a Pokémon with Contrary is targeted by {{m|Swagger}} while protected by Mist, its Attack will not be changed. | |||
If a Pokémon with Contrary uses {{m|Belly Drum}}, its {{stat|Attack}} will be lowered to -6 stages (although the message will still say that the user maximized its Attack); if the user's Attack is already at -6 stages, Belly Drum will still deduct HP. Even if the user has Contrary, Belly Drum fails if the user's Attack is already at +6. | If a Pokémon with Contrary uses {{m|Belly Drum}}, its {{stat|Attack}} will be lowered to -6 stages (although the message will still say that the user maximized its Attack); if the user's Attack is already at -6 stages, Belly Drum will still deduct HP.
