Which Stat?
It says it will download based on the foe's lowest stat. Does that mean the attack corresponding to the lower defense is raised? It seems that way, but it's not entirely clear to me from the description. Cheesus Is Lord 04:33, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

- Download raises Attack or Sp Attack based on weather the foe's Defense or Sp Defense stat is lower. For instance, against Blissy, Download always boosts Attack, and against Golem it will aways boost Sp Attack. So you are correct, it raises an offensive state based on which of the opponent's defensive stats is lower. Trainer-c 07:12, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
- What if they're both the same? - unsigned comment from TorchicBlaziken (talk • contribs)

Triple Battles
It doesn't say how the raised stat is determined in Triple Battles. Presumably it's the same way, but can someone confirm that? The same should probably done for Horde Battles. And maybe Rotational Battles. --Wynd Fox 23:27, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
Exclusivity
If this is the signature ability of Porygon's line, why can Genesect have this ability? I'm curious. Hello, it's me, GalarChamp Cinderace! (talk) 16:31, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

Effect in FFA/Battle Royal
The stat raised is based on
- 1. The opponent on the opposite side of the field from you or
- 2. It chooses an opponent randomly
It seems like 2 is more likely to happen, but I haven't played FFA on Smogon in a while
