Talk:Quark Drive (Ability)

Yes, Quark Drive does activate on ungrounded Pokémon, such as Iron Jugulis. I just watched a video where Pimpnite used all of the Future Pokémon, except for Miraidon.HenryWong122 (talk) 14:34, 25 November 2022 (UTC)

Could you provide a link to the video? I'm inclined to beleive you, but "I saw someone on YouTube do it." without a citation does not provide sufficient proof. - Chosen (Talk) 17:01, 25 November 2022 (UTC)

Boosted Stat

Ive noticed that the ability only increases the highest stat at the moment the ability is activated. The boost towards that stat remains even if the highest stat has been changed afterwards. (e.g. Iron Valiant has its Speed boosted by Quark Drive.and uses Swords Dance, even if its Attack becomes its new highest stat Quark Drive will still boost its Speed.) I assume its the same for Protosynthesis.

Could someone help confirm this? And if so, is it worth mentioning on the page? Kitsu.aria (talk) 14:22, 25 January 2023 (UTC)

I believe it's certainly worth mentioning on the pages. Nescientist (talk) 17:57, 25 January 2023 (UTC)

Power of Alchemy, Simple Beam and Worry Seed

Power of Alchemy cannot copy Protosynthesis or Quark Drive.

Surprisingly enough, Simple Beam does work and successfully overwrites those with Simple. This is strange, because on the Simple Beam page it was written that it fails against Protosynthesis. I checked to be sure and Worry Seed also works fine. Were those mistakes or were things change via game update(s)?
