Same-type attack bonus: Difference between revisions
Colosseum and XD are by no means spin-off. They are considered side series, given they they feature the same gameplay and mechanics as the core series, and most of the time effects of shadow moves are grouped with other core series effects.

The same-type attack bonus is a 50% damage boost of power to direct damage from a [[move|attack]] when it is the same [[type]] as one of the types of the Pokémon using the attack. This results in a ×1.5 multiply of [[damage]] (×2 if the Pokémon has the {{a|Adaptability}} Ability). Indirect damage coming out as a consequence of a move, ability or item doesn't get STAB, even when deals typed damage like {{m|Stealth Rock}}. Typeless Pokémon don't get this bonus dealing typeless damage either. It was introduced in [[Generation I]] and has remained unchanged since. | The same-type attack bonus is a 50% damage boost of power to direct damage from a [[move|attack]] when it is the same [[type]] as one of the types of the Pokémon using the attack.

In [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, [[Shadow moves]] are treated as not having a type, and so cannot receive STAB. | |||
A Pokémon only receives the same-type attack bonus on the current type of the move, not its listed type. For example, if the user's type matches their {{m|Hidden Power}} type, they do receive same-type attack bonus; however, since a Normal-type Hidden Power is not possible, a pure Normal-type Pokémon cannot receive the same-type attack bonus for Hidden Power. The same is also true for {{type|Fairy}}. | A Pokémon only receives the same-type attack bonus on the current type of the move, not its listed type.
