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they are applied; it does not passively cause all existing changes to reverse; therefore, if the Ability Contrary is no longer in effect or the stats are {{m|Baton Pass}}ed, all existing stat stage changes remain the same. Stats Baton Passed onto a Pokémon with Contrary are not reversed. | This also applies to self-inflicted changes, such as {{m|Curse}} and {{m|Leaf Storm}}.
