STAB or supper effective

[fattypen]

erm which one is better? like i have a zangoose again a ewtwo. shd i use shadow ball or return?

erm how does supper effective counts anyway?

 

[? Bleep ?]

super effective is 2x, STAB is 1.5x.

Well if your zangoose loves you like heck, rturns base power should be 102, and with stab it will become 153.

With shadowball- it has a base power of 80, 2x on mewtwo makes in a base power of 160.

They're both physical moves, so they do similar damage.

You have to check a few things when thinking about what type of attack to use:
Do not be like the classic noob:
"Well my slaking needs brick break so it could beat other normal types, DUH"
"Look you tart: Return will do MORE damage than brick break on a normal type when used by slaking: 102(1.5)= 153. 75(2)= 150. Don't bother."

Think about things like that when choosing your attack. :-)

oic thx a lot man! that really helps!

hm that means stab + choice band = x3? O.o (1.5 + 1.5)

 

[? Bleep ?]

stab + choice band = 2.25.

All the damage calculation in the game is based on multplication:
Return on Slaking@choiceband:
1.5x1.5 = 2.25

Its still pretty nice :)

Youre wrong.

CB is only on the attack stat, not moves. CBslaking will have 690 attack, and with stabbed return kills a lot of crap.

just posting to say the guys above me is right

Not against Regirock ;P
On a similar note: on sweepers, is it always best to try and include a stabbed move when stats allow it?

 

[fattypen]

hmmm juz wanna ask y does ppl use return on slaking instead of hyper beam?

i dun think its because of the PP rite? with that much much u can finish the game b4 the pp end... is it bcos of the accuracy?

 

[husk1442]

it is so that you can switch out, if you want

 

[Groudon80]

Because medicham OHKO's you with FP.

 

[fattypen]

erm u mean that if use hyper beam u cant switch out even if u want to after using it?

erm what does medicham OHKO got to do with that... sorry -.-

 

[? Bleep ?]

Youre wrong.

CB is only on the attack stat, not moves. CBslaking will have 690 attack, and with stabbed return kills a lot of crap.

Ah, my bad, i thought CB multplied da attack. 690 attack... AHHHHH!!!

I think im gonna start using that now lolz

Dang, a CB medicham which hasn't been skillswaped... oh my.

 

[husk1442]

I prefer medicham for massive attack as its bests slaking with its 720 atk, gets fighting STAB, and can attack every turn.

if only it had base 110 speed

 

[Groudon80]

Cham is very common, and will OHKO slaking with Focus Punch. 720 attack is nothing to laugh at.

 

[husk1442]

cham will OHKO with High Jump Kick

 

[Sin]

even brick break...........

 

[husk1442]

or HP: fighting

[DarkPegasus]

[husk1442]

Same Type Attack Boost
