Simple now doubles the number of stages in a stat change rather than doubling the effectiveness of each boost. This means that moves like Defense Curl can only be used three times before failing (unlike Generation IV, where it could be used six times, but only have effect up to the third). | Simple now doubles the number of stages in a stat change rather than doubling the effectiveness of each boost. This means that moves like Defense Curl can only be used three times before failing (unlike Generation IV, where it could be used six times, but only have effect up to the third). That also means that flavor text will change, eg. Calm Mind will say that stats rose sharply, instead of saying that they just rose. | ||
As the effective stat change is now the same as the actual number of stages a stat is changed, using {{m|Psych Up}} on a target with Simple behaves as expected, copying twice the number of stat boosts compared to if the {{m|Psych Up}} user had used the stat boosting moves themselves. This also means that using {{m|Baton Pass}} with a Simple Pokémon as the recipient will no longer effectively double the stat changes that are transferred. | As the effective stat change is now the same as the actual number of stages a stat is changed, using {{m|Psych Up}} on a target with Simple behaves as expected, copying twice the number of stat boosts compared to if the {{m|Psych Up}} user had used the stat boosting moves themselves.
