Malamar Contrary with Z-Happy Hour bug?(Turn 9)

Why do stats go up? Should not you lower the stats to -1 because of Contrary?
Not a bug, intended behavior.
Contrary does not reverse Z move stat boosts.
Or to be more specific, Contrary only reverses stat modifications that trigger the usual stat change animation. Status Z-Moves don't do that, so they are not reversed. Same logic with things like Baton Pass. Same logic with Simple.
