Beast Boost (Japanese: ビーストブースト Beast Boost) is an Ability introduced in Generation VII. It is shared by all of the Ultra Beasts.

Effect

	This move effect may be in need of research. Reason: If one of its highest stats is already at +6, will Beast Boost increase a different equally high stat? Does Beast Boost consider stats changed by Power Trick or Speed Swap? You can discuss this on the talk page.

In battle

When a Pokémon with Beast Boost causes another Pokémon (including allies) to faint through direct damage, its highest stat (other than HP) rises by one stage.

Determining the highest stat does not take into account any modifiers caused by status conditions, items, or moves; however, it does consider stats changed via Power Split and Guard Split. In the case of a tie, it increases one stat, prioritized in this order: Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed.

Outside of battle

Beast Boost has no effect outside of battle.
