Moxie (ability)

Moxie is an Ability introduced in Generation V.

In Battle
When a Pokémon with Moxie directly causes another Pokémon (including allies) to faint by using a damaging move, its Attack is increased by one stage. If its Attack is already at +6 stages, however, Moxie will not activate.

Moxie activates after the Pokémon gains an Attack boost from Fell Stinger, meaning it will gain a total boost of +4 Attack in one turn. If a Pokémon with Moxie defeats a Pokémon with Mummy using a contact move, the Pokémon's Ability will become Mummy before Moxie has the opportunity to activate, which means its Attack will usually stay the same, depending on what Move was used.

Outside of Battle
Moxie has no effect(s) outside of battle.
