Defiant: The Ability That Boosts Attack After Stat Reduction
An Overview of Defiant's Effects
Defiant is an ability found in various Pokémon species, notably Pawniard and Bisharp, that activates when the Pokémon's stats are lowered. Upon activation, Defiant raises the Pokémon's Attack stat by two stages, effectively countering the debuffing tactics of opponents.
Mechanism and Usage
Defiant is triggered whenever a Pokémon's Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense, or Speed is reduced by an opponent's move. This includes stat-lowering moves such as Intimidate, Growl, and Tailwind. By increasing the Pokémon's Attack stat, Defiant allows it to strike back harder, potentially overwhelming the opponent's strategy.

- Weavile
- Honchkrow
