Apply STABS.T.A.B : Same-Type Attack Bonus
These moves are always highlighted below in bold. When this box is checked, the bonus is calculated into the Versus column when a type-matchup is selected.

Note: The damage listed here under Versus is not actually calculated using the in-game damage formula. It is simply calculated using typing weaknesses and resistances from the selected type-matchup modifier along with STAB (if applied) to help sort through and give a general idea as to how powerful certain moves might be towards that selected typing after modifiers are applied. Several moves listed here may have additional effects that might alter actual damage output which are not factored on this specific list. Use damage calculators to find actual damage amounts.
