Detailed Effect
Increases the bearer's highest stat (excluding HPstat img) in harsh sunlightstat img or while holding Booster EnergyItem Icon for Booster Energy by 30% (or 50% if Speedstat img is the highest stat).
Upon activation, a message tells which stat is increased to all the players.
If multiple statsstat img are tied for highest, Protosynthesis breaks the tie by prioritizing Attackstat img -> Defensestat img -> Special Attackstat img -> Special Defensestat img -> {Speed;STAT;SPEED}, in that order.
Protosynthesis will activate in harsh sunlight even if the Pokémon is holding a Utility UmbrellaItem Icon for Utility Umbrella, but not if a Pokémon with Air Lock or Cloud Nine is in battle.
Harsh sunlight will activate Protosynthesis before a held Booster Energy, so the Booster Energy will not be consumed if the Pokémon with Protosynthesis is in harsh sunlight.
If activated by weather, the effect of Protosynthesis will end when the field is no longer affected by harsh sunlight.
Skill Swap and Doodle will fail if either Pokémon has Protosynthesis.
Worry Seed, Gastro Acid, Role Play, and Entrainment will fail if the target has Protosynthesis.
Protosynthesis cannot be copied by Trace, Power of Alchemy, or Receiver or replaced by Lingering Aroma.
