STAB

What Is STAB?

STAB also known as “Same Type Attack Bonus” is a system that allows your Mon’s to do more damage based on their type.

For example, a Ghost Type using a Ghost Type move would do additional damage, compared to a non-Ghost type using a Ghost attack.

What Does This Mean?

Lets me further explain and try to simplify how STAB works.

Snorlax Used Ghost Type Move Lick: It Deals 20.00 DPS

Haunter Used Ghost Type Move Lick: It Deals 25.00 DPS

Since Lick is a Ghost Type Move and Haunter is a Ghost Type Pokemon, he will receive the STAB benefit of 25% more damage.

Does STAB stack with Weakness Damage?

The simple answer is, Yes it does.

So normally when a Type is weak against another it will take 25% more Damage or 1.25. (Type Weakness)

With Type Weakness & STAB, The damage will cap at a total of 50% more Damage or 1.50. (Type Weakness & STAB)
