How does Mist interact with self stat lowering moves?

Question

Let's say for instance, my Wailord used Mist. Then, my Rotom-Heat used Overheat. Would the Special Attack drop be negated by the Mist?

Answer 1

Rotom-H will get its special attack lowered.

Hope this helps! :)

Wait that that's confusing db is wrong lol

---

The second time rotom used overheat its stats were still lowered even with mist up

---

I'm really confused. All the sources I've read so far said that allies can't lower it, but maybe the user still can?

---

Yeah, probably. Anyway, no problem!

---

I thought that mist cleared all stat changes. Then again I could be wrong :D

@Espeon_Umbreon, I believe you're thinking of Haze, which does in fact clear stat changes. However, Mist prevents a team's stats from being lowered for a few turns. :)
