Does Unaware Ignore Your Stat Changes?

Unaware is a versatile Pokémon Ability that allows it to ignore any stat changes made by the opponent when using or taking an attack. In this article, we’ll delve into the details of how Unaware works, its effects, and how it compares to other Abilities.

Ignored Stat Changes

With Unaware, the attacking Pokémon’s stat changes – both positive and negative – are completely ignored. This means that if an opponent uses a move that adjusts the attacker’s stats, Unaware will prevent it from taking effect. On the other hand, any stat changes made by the opponent that affect the opposing Pokémon’s stats will also be ignored.

Changes to Defense and Evasion

However, Unaware does not ignore changes made to Defense and Evasion stats. This means that if an opponent uses a move that lowers the user’s Defense or Evasion, the Unaware effect will not prevent it.

Comparison to Other Abilities

Foresight, Odor Sleuth, and Miracle Eye: Ignoring Evasion Stages

Foresight, Odor Sleuth, and Miracle Eye abilities ignore evasion stat stages in the accuracy calculation. Similar to Unaware, this means that the evasion will not affect the accuracy calculation. However, unlike Unaware, these abilities affect both the user and opponent.

Power Trip and Stored Power: Ignoring Base Power

Power Trip and Stored Power abilities allow the move to ignore any base power changes. On the other hand, if the move is affected by Unaware, the move will ignore the opponent’s physical Defense and Special Defense, but not the Base Power.

Foul Play: Ignoring User’s Attack Stat

Foul Play. The base power of this attack is always 95. It can be boosted by the Opponent’s Attack stat!

In Conclusion

To summarize, Unaware, when active, ignores attacker’s stat changes made by the opponent, but not opposition’s. Additionally, it does not change Defense or Evasion from the opponent. Other relevant Abilities have different effects that can help or hinder you in different situations. Choosing the right Ability can boost your team’s performance greatly.
