Should we add the fact that only two Pokémon can get STAB from this move - Lickilicky and Smeargle? (I think so, anyway.)

- So you're implying that due to STAB, Explosion will do 1000 damage, right? ht14 22:25, April 11, 2008 (GMT)
- No, the STAB would make it 750, not 1000, as the STAB multiplier is 1.5x not 2x.--Wikifixer 15:45, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
- The STAB boosts the Base Power from 250 to 375, Silk Scarf further boosts it to 412.5, and i don't know how that translates into actual battle damage, but 412.5 BP sounds brill to me. Though a Blaze/Overgrowth Fire/Grass Type with Overheat/Leaf Storm and a Charcoal/Miracle Seed does more I think... like 600+ or something. user:494alex 23:19, May 13th, 2009 (GMT)

Focus Sash
Does the Focus Sash save a Pokémon from fainting when it uses Explosion? Zesty Cactus 04:50, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
- Yes of course it does. Stop posting this on every page. —darklordtrom 20:44, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
- Are you sure? I'm pretty sure he means the user of explosion and that wouldnt make much sense to me. Dexington 22:00, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
- Focus Sash does not prevent it from fainting...Forretress killed Abra along with itself...--PsychicRider☮ 22:14, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
- Dexington's right, I meant "does it protect the USER of Explosion", I guess I should have made that clearer. Thanks guys.Zesty Cactus 02:27, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
