Competitive Noble Roar glitch?

Feb. 4, 2014

I came up with a Double Battle strategy where my Pyroar uses Noble Roar on my Gothitelle, where each individual stat drop would activate Competitive, resulting in a +3 Special Attack boost.

I got the idea when I used Noble Roar on a wild Defiant Pawniard.

However, when I tested it out in the Battle Maison, something weird happened. The move animation didn’t occur, and all that happened was a Special Attack drop on Gothitelle.

Is this a glitch of some kind?

It didn’t work because Competitive only works if your stats are lowered by an opponent.

“Competitive raises the user’s Special Attack stat by two stages for each stat lowered by anopponent, including the Special Attack stat itself.
