Effect

In battle

Competitiveness raises the user's Attack stat by two stages for each stat lowered by an opponent, including the Attack stat. This does not include self-induced stat drops like those from Close Combat. Competitiveness will not activate if the user's stat is lowered by an ally in double and triple battles.

Outside of battle

Competitiveness has no effect outside of battle.
