Ability Detail

Unaware is an ability in the Pokémon series that provides a unique strategic advantage in battle. Pokémon with the Unaware ability ignore the opponent's stat changes when calculating damage. Specifically, this means that if an opponent has raised its Attack stat or lowered your Pokémon's Defense stat, a Pokémon with Unaware will not consider these changes when taking damage. Conversely, if the opponent has raised its Defense or Special Defense, these stat boosts will also be ignored when your Unaware Pokémon attacks.

Effects:

Ignoring Stat Changes: Unaware allows a Pokémon to ignore the opponent's stat increases (e.g., Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed) and decreases during battle calculations. This prevents opponents from capitalizing on boosts from moves like Swords Dance or Calm Mind, offering a counter-strategy against setup sweepers.
Battle Dynamics: Unaware does not ignore the Unaware user's own stat changes. If the Unaware Pokémon has its own stat

Effects

This Pokémon ignores other Pokémon's stat modifiers for the purposes of damage and accuracy calculation. Effectively, this affects modifiers of every stat except Speed. The power of punishment and stored power is calculated as usual. When this Pokémon hurts itself in confusion, its stat modifiers affect damage as usual.
