I used to think this too xD

Answer 1

It only lowers it for the battle. After the battle, it gets recovered

Your stat changes also get reset if you switch out the Pokemon.

Thanks alot that's what I needed to know

Answer 2

These are the ways:

• using a stat boosting move to cancel each out
• Switch out
• What -[Protean~Froakie]- said,It will last until the end of the battle
• If the opponent use clear smog
• If you use Haze
• If you use psych up

Also if the opponent/partner uses Topsy-Turvy on the lowered pokemon, in which casi -1 becomes +1 instead
