Defiant questions.

What about if your opponent lowers the stat of a Pokemon, then that Pokemon Baton Passes to a Pokemon with Defiant? Or what if you use Psych up on an opponent who used Close Combat? Or what if you use Imposter Ditto on a Primeape with Defiant that has -1 in both defenses because it used Close Combat? And what if the foe has lowered stats and they use Power Swap on you? Will any of these things activate Defiant? also, will a -2 or -3 stat drop raise attack by +4 (for -2) or +6 (for -3)? Bulbapedia says Attack will raise by two stages for each stat dropped, but I am wondering if that means individual stats or a stat dropper of -2 or more will also activate Defiant for each stage that stat is lowered.

Whew, Finally I tested this and found out, that ….

Defiant will only activate if your stat is directly lowered

Meaning, That if its baton passes, Psyched up, Power swapped, any of the above, it won’t activate it, it has to be directly lowered by the pokemon.

-IDidtest this.

Also, I just want to say this was a very interesting question to test and answer.

And the Multiplier is

+2 stages for Every 1 stage Dropped.
