Learn how the Download ability works in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, boosting stats based on opponent's highest stat. Includes Porygon, Porygon2, Porygon-Z.

The Download ability is possessed by Porygon, Porygon2, and Porygon-Z. When one of these Pokémon is out in battle, it will examine the opponent's stats. Whichever stat is the highest among the opponent's stats will grant a corresponding boost to the Pokémon with the Download ability. For example, if the opponent's highest stat is Attack, your Porygon will receive an Attack boost.

Tips
  • Consider the opponent's stats carefully before sending out a Pokémon with the Download ability.
  • This ability is particularly useful for boosting offensive stats like Attack or Special Attack.
