The Naturelocke Challenge

[Sopheria]

Oh goodness...please don't laugh but,

I failed my locke on the first gym.

This is my first time doing a challenge, don't judge me! Can I give it another go? Or am I permanently disqualified?

Um...I feel embarrassed for saying this, but I failed my Naturelocke to Jasmine. :| Guess I won't be doing this anymore. Sorry.

[Sylvie18]

So im about to go update some stuff in my already growing list of challenges and i spot this.
It looks fun, i think i'll give this a shot too :)

Also forgive me for looking silly but can someone clarify what counts as a STAB move?

Name: Sylvie
Game: Pokemon Gold forgot this one lacks natures
Soul Silver

 

[Hippowtom]

Also forgive me for looking silly but can someone clarify what counts as a STAB move?

STAB = Same Type Attack Bonus, it's a competitive term for attacks same type as the user :) For example let's say you find a Rattata with Tackle. It's Tackle is more powerful than your Squirtles because of STAB :)

I hope this explanation was clear enough.
