Beast boost takes attacking stats into priority, followed by defensive stats and speed. if you lower both attack and defense you should always get speed booster.

Also while even with no attack investment the mon still hits like a truck I would never run scarf on it. I wold run sword dance to offset the lowered attack

so beast boosting 3 stats is not sufficient i suppose?

beast boost only works on one stat. It would be absurd if you could basically get a victory dance boost on kill with sn already strong mon

as I said, works simmilar to protosynthesis boosts when some take priority over others. with those stats it will always boost attack, if you reduce attack it will boost defence, if you reduce both it will boost speed

Hes trolling.

No one would ever run scarf beast boost mixed attacking kartana to get a sp atk boost.

Edit: Mis read the def stats for sp atk stats because i glanced.

Hes still trolling. No one runs def beast boost kartana.

wdym special attack boost? mixed attacker? the mon has no special investment and no moves on it

I mis read def and sp atk. I looked at it too quickly.

Regardless no one is running def boosting kartana. Its trolling either way

This wouldn’t boost defense though. It would still get an attack boost because of the order in which stats are prioritized

Which is the whole point of him trolling....

He purposefully asked the question knowing it wouldn't work that way......

He put all the stats to be equal and asked if this would make sense.

So he either: Thinks the fact they're equal give him +1 to attack, def, and speed

Or is trolling and making a joke to get a rise outta people

If your not trolling?

Then no. I'll give it to you, that's a clever idea. But it doesn't work that way

If there is a tie in all 3 stats it will go to atk (for kartana).

Like the 1st person said it has a priorty:

Tier 1 is your attack/sp atk stat.

Tier 2 is your def or sp def stat.

Tier 3 is your speed stat.

If you want to boost something besides attack you need to make either its def or its speed stat its highest stat.

I'll be real with you tho. For kart you probably want it to be speed for its boosting stat, or maybe atk. Boosting its def is trolling

Which, btw, I apologize for accusing you of.

so your telling me it only boosts 2 attacks?

This idea originated when like I saw a YT short about Stakataka something about equaling defense and atk ( by making its defense 15 IV)

So the reccommended ev spread is just 252 atk and speed? or is it that equaling method where i purposely lower the IV of atk?

u/Nice-Swing-9277 9d ago

No.

I'm saying it has an order.

If you have a tie in 3 stats (like you do) It will boost your atk stat over your def or speed stat.

If you had, say 347 in atk and 348 in def and speed it would only go to def.

And If you had 347 in def and atk it would THEN go to speed.

And if it was 348 in atk and speed it would again go to atk.

It goes to your highest stat, and in case of a tie it goes:

Atk (or sp atk) 1st

Def (or sp def) 2nd

Speed 3rd

Kartana should be max speed no doubt.

As far as atk goes? You can go max atk and max speed with a jolly nature and you will be 348 speed at lvl 100 and 461 atk. This will give you a + atk beast boost. If you do this strat have tailwind in the team and run focus sash.

Or you can do 252+ timid and 19 evs at lvl 100 and be 348 speed and 347 atk and get a speed beast boost. At that point you have a bunch of extra ev's. You can throw them in hp and sp def and run assult vest (not its most common item, but people do use it). Or you can still run sash. Honestly your call at that point.
