Download

Description

Download raises either the Attack stat or Special Attack stat by one stage depending on the foe's lowest current defensive stat; it will raise the Special Attack stat if the foe's current Special Defense is lower than its current Defense stat. If the foe's Defense and Special Defense are equal, then the Special Attack stat is increased. Download will add the two opposing Pokémon's stats and calculate the lower stat between both in double battles.

Competitive Use

Only three Pokemon have the ability Download, all of them being in the Porygon evolution family. When Porygon-Z gets a Special Attack stat increase it will become a pretty threating sweeper, though Adaptability is also a tempting ability. Download is a good ability to use for Agility sweeping because if the user gets a Special Attack stat increase it will be a nice pair with a Speed Stat increase from Agility making it not very easy to counter. The only other Pokemon to get Download is Genesect, who is currently unreleased.
