Costar

Costar is a unique ability introduced in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, primarily associated with the Pokémon Flamigo. This intriguing ability enables Flamigo to copy the stat changes of an ally upon entering the battlefield.

Effects: - Stat Changes Replication: As soon as Flamigo switches in, it duplicates all current stat modifications of its ally, including boosts and drops. This ability proves strategically advantageous, especially when combined with teammates who have successfully increased their stats through moves like Dragon Dance, Swords Dance, or Calm Mind. - No Impact on Conditions: It is important to note that Costar does not affect status conditions, ability changes, or the stat levels of opposing Pokémon.

Interesting Facts: - Strategic Use: Trainers can exploit Costar to align Flamigo’s stats with a heavily buffed partner, transforming it into a potent attacker or defender without the need for Flamigo to use any boosting moves itself. - Team Synergy:
