With Contrary, if Servine has a stat stage raised it is lowered instead and vice versa. Facade's damage doubles when the user has a status affliction.
◆ Seed Bomb is a physical STAB-boosted 80-base power Grass-type move that deals a good amount of damage.
◆ Return is a physical 0-base power Normal-type move (max 102 power at maximum happiness).
◆ Facade is a physical 70-base power Normal-type move (power doubles if Servine is burn/poison/paralyzed).
◆ Knock Off is a physical 65-base power Dark-type move (1.5x damage if foe holds an item; Note: This will also remove that item).
◆ Pursuit is a physical 40-base power Dark-type move (if a foe is switching out, hits it at 2x power).
