extra 50% damage for pokemon using attacks with its own type? [duplicate] - Crop hacker silhouette typing on computer keyboard while hacking system

We know this happens for previous Pokemon games. For example, if I have a fire type pokemon, it deals extra (50%) damage when using fire type attacks. So my question is does Pokemon Go also has this setting?

Do Pokémon do more damage with their type?

The attacks of your Psyduck have nothing to do with the type of the Pokemon, so whether they do extra damage or not is based on the type of the attack. So your cross chop for instance will be super effective against normal types.

Does stab exist in Pokemon go?

STAB. STAB (an acronym for Same-Type Attack Bonus) is a bonus that is applied to the power of an Attack, if the Type of the Attack matches the Type of the Pok\xe9mon. If the attack grants a STAB, a 20% Attack bonus will be applied.

How much damage does a super effective move do?

Pok\xe9mon GO type chart Super effective moves do 1.6x damage rather than 2x. Not very effective moves do 0.625x damage rather than 0.5x. If a Pok\xe9mon would usually be immune to a certain of damage (for instance, a Ghost-type being hit with a Normal move), it will instead do 0.39x damage.

How is stab calculated in Pokémon?

2- I'm pretty sure STAB is calculated after the super effective damage, so, in the case of Earthquake for example, it'd be 100 x 2 = 200, then 200 x 1.5 = 300. 3- Same goes for not very effective moves; the damage would be cut in half, then get a boost, so something like 100 / 2 = 50, then 50 x 1.5 = 75.
