	'''Same-type attack bonus''' (Japanese: '''タイプ{{tt\|一致\|いっち}}ボーナス''' ''coincident type bonus''), abbreviated '''STAB''', is a 50% boost ~~to the power~~ of an [[move\|attack]] when it is the same [[type]] as one of the types of the {{OBP\|Pokémon\|species}} using the attack. This results in a 50% increase in [[damage]] (100% if the Pokémon has the {{a\|Adaptability}} Ability).

	Same-type attack bonus does not apply to moves that do not use the normal damage formula, such as {{m\|Seismic Toss}}. Contrary to what some early strategy guides stated, {{type\|Normal}} attacks can receive the same-type attack bonus.
