How does Beast Boost Work?

Dec. 27, 2016

Cuz, I just fought a Celesteela that got Baton Passed from Speed Boost Ninjask, and after it knocked out of my Pokemon, it’s Beast Boost boosted it’s speed. Which seems super weird, cuz I thought it was a slow Pokemon.

Beast Boost increases the user’s highest stat (ignoring the HP stat) by one stage after knocking out a Pokémon. It does not take into account any modifiers caused by status conditions, items, or moves, except Power Split and Guard Split. In the case of a tie, it will boost whichever stat is first, using the following order: Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed.

According to this, Beast Boost ignores stat modifiers, so the highest stat of the Celesteela you fought must have been Speed.
