When a pokemon acquires this ability through skill swap, will stat changes already in effect be switched? For example, My deoxys uses Psycho Boost, and then the opponent sends out a serperior. If I use Skill Swap, will my -2 Sp Atk become + Sp Atk? I'm also wondering if this would apply to losing the ability. | When a pokemon acquires this ability through skill swap, will stat changes already in effect be switched?

does this mean that if I use Leaf Storm 3 times, then my Jaroda will have a +6 Sp. Atk? Also, if I use an attack like belly drum, that maximizes Atk when used, what happens? PikaNinja7 16:28, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
- Yes, three Leaf Storms give you +6 SpA and Belly Drum -6 Atk.----無限の知性 ◎ ＤＥＮＮＯＵ◆ＺＥＮＳＨＩ 16:43, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

- Does Antagonist affect the opponent's moves too, or just the Pokémon's? So if a Serperior's foe (let's say a Tsunbear) uses Icy Wind against it, does Serperior's speed increase? Similarly, if Tsunbear uses Hone Claws, will its accuracy and attack drop? H4r8z0r 02:50, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
- It affects any stat changes of the Pokémon with Antagonist. Therefore, if a Serperior has Antagonist, and Icy Wind is used against it, its speed will increase. However, if its opponent uses Hone Claws, the move will work like normal because it doesn't target Serperior. --RiverAura 18:41, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

Acquiring this ability
When a pokemon acquires this ability through skill swap, will stat changes already in effect be switched? For example, My deoxys uses Psycho Boost, and then the opponent sends out a serperior. If I use Skill Swap, will my -2 Sp Atk become + Sp Atk? I'm also wondering if this would apply to losing the ability.
Trivia
