Moxie

Raises Attack one stage upon KOing a Pokémon.

Full effect

This Pokémon's Attack rises one stage upon knocking out another Pokémon, even a friendly Pokémon. This ability does not take effect when the Pokémon indirectly causes another Pokémon to faint, e.g. through poison or Spikes. If this Pokémon knocks out a Pokémon with Mummy, the former's ability will change without taking effect.

In-game description

When the Pokémon knocks out a target, it shows moxie, which boosts its Attack stat.
