Negative effect?
I see that the category has been added and removed to the page, and it made me realize that this is a curious case. The Ability clearly has no drawbacks to user itself, but it may indeed reduce the speed stat of an ally during a double battle, which may be considered negative overall. It probably comes down to how we define a negative effect for this purpose, if it must be negative specifically to the user, or to its team as a whole.
I'm really not sure what would be the best choice, but I wanted to bring this up to see if anyone else has some thoughts about it. Just think that whichever option we choose, we should remain consistent with it. Suic (talk) 12:40, 12 May 2020 (UTC)
