I just don't understand the description "Ignores any stat changes in the Pokémon."

Unaware means the Pokemon completely ignores the effects of stat changes when calculating damage. Those changes are the standard ones you see from moves like Swords Dance. So if a Pokemon with a +2 Attack boost from Swords Dance attacked a Pokemon with Unaware, the stat boost would be excluded as if it wasn't there at all.

Does that work with Double Team too?
That's a good question actually, I'm not sure on that one. But I'm going to assume no o3o
Yes because Double Team boosts something, in the case evasion.

The Ability Unaware ignores all stat changes
In battle
Unaware ignores other Pokémon's positive and negative stat changes when calculating damage involving a Pokémon with this Ability. This means that damage dealt by a Pokémon with Unaware ignores the target's Defense and Special Defense stat changes. Likewise, damage dealt to a Pokémon with Unaware ignores the attacker's Attack and Special Attack stat changes.

So say the enemy is -1 in defense, and my Bibarel with Unaware hits it with Return, will it hit as if it was -0 defence? Or would the -1 still factor in?
