Other than Quick Attack, watch out for Aqua Jet from Water-types, Bullet Punch from Steel-types and Sucker Punch from Dark-types. In this case, the opponent can surprise you with a priority move and wipe the smile off your face. Especially when you have low HP and think you can get away with a quick KO because you’re faster. Priority moves are generally less important in the main story, where you can blitz through most encounters, but during battles with human players, be wary of potential Priority moves. Some moves even have negative priority, meaning they will usually go last. Certain status moves such as Endure and Protect have higher priority than moves like Quick Attack. You may notice we mentioned “the same priority” not all priority moves have the same priority. Well, assuming the moves have the same priority, the faster Pokémon will attack first, as per usual. These moves are generally known as Priority moves, because they have priority during the battle turn.įrom here, some of you may be wondering what happens if both Pokémon use a priority move.

NoteĮven if a Pokémon is usually slower than the opposing Pokémon, if they use such a move, they will attack ahead of their opponent. However, it’s also recommended to have moves without STAB for reasons we’ll explain next… Variety is the Spice of Life ¶Īt some point you must have thought to yourself “Hmm, these Gym Leaders sure are easy, since they all use one type of Pokémon”. As a general rule of thumb, having moves with STAB is preferable. If a Pokémon is dual-typed, it will have STAB with both types of moves, making it a very versatile Pokémon. For instance, a lot of Water-type Pokémon can learn Ice-type moves, so what’s the point in using Ice-type Pokémon? Well, Ice-type Pokémon will do extra damage with those same Ice-type moves.

The point of STAB is to encourage and reward Pokémon for using moves of its type. In Milotic’s case, it’s a Water-Type Pokémon and Scald is a Water-type move, so Scald will do 1.5 times damage in Milotic’s hands (or whatever it has for hands). STAB stands for Same-Type Attack Bonus and what it means is that Pokémon using moves the same type as themselves will do 1.5 times more damage than usual.
