Does Tera Stack with STAB? – Unlocking the Power of Typing and Abilities in Pokémon

The world of Pokémon is a complex one, filled with intricate battle strategies and minute details that can make all the difference in a match. One topic of particular interest is the intersection of Typing, Ability, and STAB (Same-Type Attack Bonus), with Tera becoming an increasingly prominent factor. As a player, it’s essential to understand how Tera stacks with STAB, allowing you to build the most effective and well-rounded team possible.

Does Tera stack with STAB?

The direct answer to the question is a resounding YES, Tera does indeed stack with STAB. In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, Tera Type replacement (Terrastallizing) enhances a Pokémon’s ability to perform same-type moves, allowing for higher attack damage output. Specifically:

• When a Pokémon obtains the Tera type corresponding to one of its regular types, it applies an additional bonus to attack and defense (up to double the bonus).
• Terrastallizing has two stages:
  • Level 1: STAB (up to x2 bonus for same-type attacks)
  • Level 2: Tera boosts (additional x2 damage increase, up to double the initial STAB value)

In essence, applying Tera to your team will double the usual benefits from same-type attack damage. For instance, having an Electric-type Pokémon receive STAB boosts for same-type Electric moves, amplified through Terrastallizing and resulting in quadrupled damage (x1 (STAB) * x2 (STAB + Tera type effect) * x1 (original move bonus))

Example: Charmander

Initially:

• Using Ember as an Electric-type move
• 6 damage for x1, no Tera (only STAB and Ember damage)

When using Tera Type of Lightning on Charmander

• +x1 same-type move bonus with no Tera (Electric / Electric type)
  = Ember 6 damage -> same
• x1 from STAB (level 1, Electric/PYRO) and Tera Typing of Lightning.

Potential for Combination Power

Consider applying Terrastallization after gaining additional abilities by breeding, trading, or other means, then stacking other modifiers to optimize your builds.
