Beast Boost increases the user's highest stat (ignoring the HP stat) by one stage after knocking out a Pokémon. It does not take into account any modifiers caused by status conditions, items, or moves, except {{m|Power Split}} and {{m|Guard Split}}. In the case of a tie, it will boost whichever stat is first, using the following order: {{stat|Attack}}, {{stat|Defense}}, {{stat|Special Attack}}, {{stat|Special Defense}}, and {{stat|Speed}}.
When a Pokémon with Beast Boost causes another Pokémon (including allies) to faint through direct damage, its highest stat (other than HP) rises by one stage.
 
Determining the highest stat does not take into account any modifiers caused by [[status condition]]s, items, or moves; however, it does consider stats changed via {{m|Power Split}} and {{m|Guard Split}}. In the case of a tie, it increases one stat, prioritized in this order: {{stat|Attack}}, {{stat|Defense}}, {{stat|Special Attack}}, {{stat|Special Defense}}, and {{stat|Speed}}.
