Justified (ability)

Justified is one of the many abilities that are inheritable by Pokémon.

Function

When the possessor is attacked by a Dark-type damage-dealing move, its Attack stat will upscale by one stage, thereby providing an advantageous countereffect against Dark-type attacks.

If the possessor is damaged by a multi-strike Dark-type move, the amount of upscaled stages will incrementally increase for each hit; for example, 3 strikes would upscale it by 3 stages (provided that it does not exceed the maximal amount of stages that are increasable).
