===Type boost===
In [[Generation II]], every Badge boosts the power of the moves of a certain type by 12.5% (1/8), despite never being referenced in the games. The type strengthened matches the type theme of the [[Gym]] (for example, Zephyr Badge boosts the Flying-type). These boosts work similarly to the way [[same-type attack bonus]] (STAB) boosts work, and are, in fact, calculated in-between [[Weather|weather modifiers]] and STAB.

The type strengthened matches the type theme of the [[Gym]] (for example, Zephyr Badge boosts the Flying-type). The sole exception would be the Earth Badge. Even though the Viridian Gym doesn't specialize in any particular type in this generation, it boosts Ground-type moves, matching the Gym's type in the previous generation.


Just like stat boosts, type boosts are not applied in link battles.
