Will Unaware bypass a Sand boost?

Question

So, basically, will a Rock type in Sand still have boosted SDef against a Pokemon with Unaware? Or will the SDef boost be negated?

We all know why you asked this question.. >:D

Answer 1

Unaware only ignores visible stat boosts, like from Iron Defence or Swords Dance. So rock types would keep the SDef boost. #2nub4u
