''' | The '''same-type attack bonus''' (Japanese: '''タイプ{{tt|一致|いっち}}ボーナス''' ''coincident type bonus''), abbreviated '''STAB''', boosts the damage dealt when a move is used by a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} of the same type. | ||
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. | ==In the core series== | ||
The same-type attack bonus is a 50% damage boost of an [[move|attack]] when it is the same [[type]] as one of the types of the Pokémon 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. The same-type attack bonus was introduced in [[Generation I]] and has remained unchanged since. | |||

A {{p|Blastoise}} using {{m|Surf}} increases the power of the move by 50%, from 90 to 135, since both Blastoise and Surf are {{type|Water}}. However, a Blastoise using {{m|Ice Beam}} does not receive an increase in special attack power of the move, since Blastoise is not an {{type|Ice}} Pokémon. | A {{p|Blastoise}} using {{m|Surf}} increases the power of the move by 50%, from 90 to 135, since both Blastoise and Surf are {{type|Water}}.

If {{a|Protean}} is activated before a move's execution, the user will always receive a same-type attack bonus on every move used, regardless of the move's type. | If {{a|Protean}} is activated before a move's execution, the user will always receive a same-type attack bonus on every move used, regardless of the move's type. | ||

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.
