    In my current team, one of my high-hitters is a Scizor that uses X-Scissor. Technician doesn't affect it, since it does 80 damage.

    So, with STAB, Scizor does 120 damage with X-Scissor, which is great. However, would the game mechanics allow for Bug Bite do be superior?

    X-Scissor + STAB = 120. Weakness x2 = 240, x4 = 480.

    Bug Bite + Technician = 90 + STAB = 140. Weakness x2 = 280, x4 = 560.

    Does it work like that? Does Technician buff the basic damage, and then does STAB use the outcome of that, or does it also use the base damage?
     
    I can't merge this with the simple Q&A in S&M, so I'm going to lock it. For questions like this, I recommend just asking in their Q&A.
