I'm surprised there's no recording of some memer fucking with Marshadow via Malamar.

Does this mean it won't steal the drops? Holy shit this is broken!

That is correct. It doesn't copy the targets stat changes. It simply steals any stat boosts.

Lets say "X" target used Curse. +1 atk, +1 def, -1 spe.
Spectral Thief will give Marshadow +1 atk, +1 def, and the speed stat is +/- 0.

Bulbapedia is retarded, Spectral Thief always steals all the opponent's boosts even if it would put you over +6.

Wouldn't work because as those two other anons said, marshadow should be the one having contrary.

In any case, malamar could still technically fuck marshadow up with topsy turvy. If it survives the spectral thief, that is.

Also if the target is normal type

>>32961772
why would anyone use spectral thief on a pokemon that isnt boosted and can be hit harder with close combat?

Normal types are immune.
