What are all the circumstances where abilities that raise a stat when a Pokemon is knocked out don't trigger?

Jan. 7, 2021

I’m talking about abilities such as Moxie or Grim Neigh. They raise stats when Pokemon are knocked out, but under certain circumstances, they don’t raise a stat. What are all the circumstances of this?

When a Pokémon with Moxie [or a similar ability] directly causes another Pokémon (including allies) to faint by using a damaging move, its Attack [or whatever stat the ability raises] is increased by one stage. If its Attack [or whatever stat the ability raises] is already at +6 stages, Moxie [or a similar ability] will not activate.

If a Pokémon with Moxie [or a similar ability] defeats a Pokémon with Mummy using a contact move, the Pokémon’s Ability will become Mummy before Moxie [or a similar ability] has the opportunity to activate.

Generation VI onwardIf the Pokémon fainting ends the battle, Moxie [or a similar ability] will not activate.
