It's not all one-way though you can't keep seeing your pension gain because of that because the increased value will be eroded away by the subsequent inflation.
That depends on how much inflation there is but yes these things go up and down - just ask those whose pension pots were wiped out a decade ago. Just like me, they know the sad reality only too well.
