::I tested as far as I thought would be thorough. My Gliscor's Defense (151) is a good chunk higher than her Attack (132).  I used Swords Dance x3 and Power Trick in a wild battle. I went to use Swords Dance again, it fails, wild poke hits for more damage than before Power Trick, even though the Defense should be 132 + 6 stages.  Rinse, repeat, repeat without swords dance, and comparable damage each time, regardless of Swords Dance use.

:::Hmm. [http://veekun.com/dex/moves/power%20trick Veekun] says that the ''original stats'' are swapped, and [http://www.smogon.com/dp/moves/power_trick Smogon] says that the ''Attack and Defense boosts are still applied to their stat'', so it looks like you are exactly right, this page is wrong. I've changed it, but feel free to modify it to your liking and thanks for bringing it up. <sc>[[User:Werdnae|<span style="color:#2D4B98;">Werdnae</span>]]</sc> <small>[[User talk:Werdnae|<span style="color:#009000;">(talk)</span>]]</small> 09:56, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

== Shuckle in the Anime ==
Saying that Power Trick makes Shuckle's defense higher than its attack doesn't make sense; Shuckle already has buttloads more defense than attack anyway. If it were only being used to make its Attack higher temporarily, I could understand, but the way it's worded makes no sense right now.--[[User:Phantomjunkie|<span style="color:red">Phantom</span>]][[User talk:Phantomjunkie|<span style="color:black">Junkie</span>]] 16:57, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
