It's safe to take for granted that ignorable Abilities are not applied when they are ignored (or suppressed). It would only be worth mentioning if they _were_ applied despite being ignored.

→Generation III: Decided to test this in gen 3. Hacked the starter Squirtle to have Earthquake against Blue's Bulbasaur, and the calculation would yield a range of 9-11 damage taking type effectiveness as just 1 (11 attack on 9 defense). On one attempt, I got a damage roll of 8.

→Generation V onward: Confirmed by researchers that the Glaive Rush multiplier comes between the weather and crit modifiers

→Generation V onward: After some testing, I concluded the STAB multiplier remains at 1.5 if this is the case, even if Adaptability applies.

→Generation V onward: So from Gen 5 onward, battles can have flags set to always use minimum or maximum damage rolls, SadisticMystic confirmed on Discord that Pokéstar always uses max damage rolls, but I'm not sure other than that, or if Gen 4 has any (I know the Diamond debug ROM has a flag you can turn on in battle to always use max damage rolls)

→Generation V onward: I think ideally, all of this needn't/shouldn't be here (but be accessible via the "type immunity" link); it's also weird to not have immunity-granting effects (Levitate, Magnet Rise, Air Balloon, even Wonder Guard ...) at the same place

→Generation III: And since I forgot to include it in my last edit summary, here's that research I was talking about: https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/sword-shield-battle-mechanics-research.3655528/page-59#post-8685465

→Generation V onward: Based on DaWoblefet's research here, the "other" damage modifiers should really be in this order (and I personally confirmed it myself for Gen 5)

→Generation II: You know come to think of it I don't think Gen 2 has any base power modifiers either, just variable base powers like Flail, Reversal, and Magnitude

Text replacement - "Raid Battle" to "{{OBP|Raid Battle|GO}}"

Adding the Beat Up thing to Gens 2 and 4 as well. On a similar note, I'm thinking about how we'll handle Attack, Defense, and base power modifiers for each Gen, if we do so on this page.

→Generation III: Apparently the multiplier that Weather Ball and Revenge use apply to a good chunk of other moves as well, so changing that
