"commonly abbreviated as STAB, is a 50% boost to an attack's power when the attack's type is the same as one of the types of the Pokémon using the attack" but in the [[Damage modification]] article, it says stab does 150% damage. Which is which? Please fix.

:"...is a 50% '''boost''' to an attack's..". Meaning, it adds that much more to the original amount of damage, or 100%. 100% + 50% = 150%, so it's correct. - [[User talk:SpontaneousCombusken|<sub><span style="background:#D55208"><span style="color:#FFFFFD">s.</span></span></sub>]][[User:SpontaneousCombusken|<span style="background:#F4DA8E"><span style="color:#E57E4C;">'''Combusken'''</span></span>]] 04:29, 18 September 2008 (UTC) | :"...is a 50% '''boost''' to an attack's..".

I want to see some data-hacking reason why this happens. ;) [[User:Jazzmoth|Jazzmoth]] 15:53, 2 January 2009 (UTC) | |||
