Pokémon Explained: STAB

In this video, I take some time away from gameplay to break down a concept within the Pokémon games: the same-type attack bonus, or STAB. It's a different style from what I normally do, but I hope you guys like it. (Real fans will know that I did this in the Garchomp video already.)

Instructions unclear, was STAB’d in an alleyway by a Galarian trainer with a steel type move. But I do know I feel 50% more pain thanks to this video. Thanks 😊

Great video!
Evs still confuse me so I can't wait until your next video ^^

[@Admiral24]

I'm glad to hear you're looking forward to the next one! It'll be a while before I make it, since I have a few others planned first, including a monotype nuzlocke, as requested :)

[@royalentoma]

Can't wait! ^^

1:10 actually another status-stab is Sheer Cold which is more accurate for Ice-types only.

[@Admiral24]

that's a great point - I didn't even know that Sheer Cold was more accurate for Ice types, good call!
