 ==Trivia==
 * Contrary to what some early strategy guides stated, {{type|Normal}} attacks receive same-type attack bonus.
-* From Generations {{gen|VI}} to {{gen|VIII}}, {{a|Protean}} and {{a|Libero}} change the Pokémon's type to match the move it is using, allowing it to always receive the same-type attack bonus. In Generation IX, Protean and Libero only work once per switch in.
 * The Ability {{a|Normalize}} changes all of the Pokémon's moves to be Normal-type, allowing a Normal-type Pokémon to always receive the same-type attack bonus.
 * The [[Signature Ability|signature Abilities]] {{a|Steelworker}} and {{a|Rocky Payload}} can be thought to simulate STABs for {{p|Dhelmise}} and {{p|Bombirdier}}, respectively.
