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