As a side note when a pokémon with the ability {{bpa|Simple}} has his stat modified, it lowers (or raises) his value by two steps instead of one. As an example using a move that increases my Pokemon attack, raises it from 0 to 2. On generation IV Pokemon games instead, it still moves one step at a time, but it counts as two steps. This makes values less then -3 or more then +3 meaningless. As an example using a move that increases my pokemon attack, raises it from 0 to 1, but "1" modifier is 200% and not 150%. At 3 the modifier is 400% and raising it to 4 will have no effects on the stat (except for the fact that I'm still at value 4)
