Stat Changes deal with the actually stats of your Pokémon. If you guessed it, Stat Changing moves increase or decrease Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed. Other stats we haven't talked about yet that can be changed are Accuracy, Evasion, Boost, and Resistance. Besides from the last four, it should be obvious to you what Status Changes do. To articulate on this subject, increasing a stat one stage multiplies the stat by 1.5x, two stages = 2x, three stages = 2.5x, etc. The highest you can go is six stages = 4x. Using this method, then the reverse is true. Decreasing a stat one stage divides the stat by 1.5x, and etc.... This is simple for the first five stats listed above. For these ones I'll just list the moves that best increase or decrease that stat. I will give further details for the last four. | Stat Changes deal with the actually stats of your Pokémon.

The ability Simple will double the strength of these effects, and Baton Pass can be used to keep them while switching. | ||
