Pure-Power
Summary
Pure Power is an ability in the Pokémon series that significantly increases the physical attacking power of the Pokémon that possess it. The primary effect of Pure Power is that it doubles the base Attack stat of the Pokémon. This boost applies directly to the base stat before any other calculations, making Pokémon with this ability extremely potent in physical combat.
Effects:
- Double Attack: The main effect of Pure Power is that it doubles the Pokémon's base Attack stat, which exponentially increases the power of its physical moves. This doesn't just add a percentage boost; it literally takes whatever the base Attack stat is and multiplies it by two before any other stat modifiers are applied.
- Not Stackable: It's crucial to note that Pure Power's doubling effect does not stack with similar abilities or boosts from items like the Choice Band, which would otherwise increase a Pokémon's Attack stat.
Interesting Facts:
- Exclusive Users: Pure Power is notably found on Meditite and Medicham,
