Analytic
Gen VThis Pokémon's moves have 1.3× their power when it moves last in a turn. Future Sight and Doom Desire are unaffected.
Analytic in Battle
Analytic boosts the power of the Pokemon's moves by 1.3x when it moves after all other active Pokemon in the turn. This reward for acting last turns a typically unfavorable speed tier into a strategic advantage.
The ability checks whether all opponents have already moved during the current turn, not whether the user is literally the slowest Pokemon. If the opponent switches out, this counts as having acted, so the incoming Pokemon will face the boosted attack. Moves like Future Sight and Doom Desire are not affected by Analytic since their damage is calculated on a later turn.
Analytic is commonly found on Pokemon with naturally low Speed stats, such as Magnezone, Porygon2, and Starmie (as a Hidden Ability). It pairs well with Trick Room strategies or simply on bulky attackers that can afford to take a hit before responding with enhanced power.
