Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
All Pokemon get an -Ate ability intrinsically along with its regular ability. The -Ate ability will turn normal type moves into the primary type of the Pokemon.
A Pokemon's base stats are swapped based on their nature. The nature's 10% stat lowering and increasing effect still remains. For example: Adamant swaps defense and attack's base stats and gives +10% to the new attack and -10% to the new defense.
Changes the type of the first move in a Pokemon's moveslot to match its primary type, and changes the type of the second move to match its secondary type, if applicable.
Swaps the highest stat and lowest stat of each Pokemon. If there are multiple highest and lowest (so if both Attack and Defense are highest), they are switched together.
