Competitive

Summary

Competitive is an ability in the Pokémon series that boosts the Special Attack stat of a Pokémon when any of its stats are lowered by an opponent's move or ability. Specifically, if a Pokémon with Competitive gets any of its stats reduced by an opposing Pokémon, its Special Attack stat increases by two stages. This can turn a potentially detrimental situation into an advantageous one by significantly enhancing the Pokémon's offensive capabilities.

Effects: 1. Stat Increase: When an opponent's move or ability reduces any stat (e.g., Attack, Defense, Special Defense), it triggers Competitive, which then raises the user's Special Attack by two stages. This boost can make the Pokémon much stronger in terms of its special attacks. 2. Move Synergy: The ability can synergize well with moves and strategies that commonly involve stat reduction by opponents. For instance, Intimidate, a common ability that lowers the Attack stat of all adjacent opponents when the Pokémon enters battle, will activate Competitive, raising the user's Special
