→‎Generation V onward: After some testing, I concluded the STAB multiplier remains at 1.5 if this is the case, even if Adaptability applies.

* ''Weather'' is 1.5 if a {{type|Water}} move is being used during [[rain]] or a {{type|Fire}} move during [[harsh sunlight]], and 0.5 if a Water-type move is used during harsh sunlight or a Fire-type move during rain, and 1 otherwise or if any Pokémon on the field have the Ability {{a|Cloud Nine}} or {{a|Air Lock}}.

* ''Critical'' is 1.5 (2 in [[Generation V]]) for a [[critical hit]], and 1 otherwise. Decimals are rounded down to the nearest integer. It is always 1 if the target's Ability is {{a|Battle Armor}} or {{a|Shell Armor}} or if the target is under the effect of {{m|Lucky Chant}}.

** Conversely, unless critical hits are prevented entirely by one of the above effects, ''Critical'' will always be 1.5 (or 2 in Generation V) if the used move is {{m|Storm Throw}}, {{m|Frost Breath}}, {{m|Zippy Zap}}, {{m|Surging Strikes}}, or {{m|Wicked Blow}}, the target is {{status|poisoned}} and the attacker's Ability is {{a|Merciless}}, or if the user is under the effect of {{m|Laser Focus}}.

* ''random'' is a random factor. Namely, it is recognized as a multiplication from a random integer between 85 and 100, inclusive, then divided by 100. Decimals are rounded down to the nearest integer.

** 1.5 if the move's type matches either the Pokemon's original type(s) or a different Tera Type from its original types, and the attacker's Ability is not Adaptability.
** 1.5 if the move's type matches either the Pokemon's original type(s) or a different Tera Type from its original types, and the attacker's Ability is not Adaptability.
** 2 if the move's type matches the same Tera Type as one of the Pokemon's original types and the attacker's Ability is not Adaptability, or the situation above, if the attacker's Ability is Adaptability.
** 2 if the move's type matches the same Tera Type as one of the Pokemon's original types and the attacker's Ability is not Adaptability, or the situation above, if the attacker's Ability is Adaptability.
*** However, if STAB only applies from the attacker's original type(s), not its Tera Type, ''STAB'' will always be 1.5, even if the attacker's Ability is Adaptability.
** 2.25 if the move's type matches the same Tera Type as one of the Pokemon's original types and the attacker's Ability is Adaptability.

* ''Type'' is the {{DL|Type|type effectiveness}}. This can be 0.125, 0.25, 0.5 (not very effective); 1 (normally effective); 2, 4, or 8 (super effective), depending on both the move's and target's [[type]]s. The 0.125 and 8 can potentially be obtained on a Pokémon under the effect of {{m|Forest's Curse}} or {{m|Trick-or-Treat}}. If the used move is {{m|Struggle}} or [[typeless]] {{m|Revelation Dance}}, or the target is typeless, ''Type'' is always 1. Decimals are rounded down to the nearest integer. Certain effects can modify this, namely:
