Adaptability

Increases the same-type attack bonus from 1.5× to 2×.

How it works

This Pokémon inflicts twice as much damage with moves whose types match its own, rather than the usual same-type attack bonus of 1.5×.

Effects can vary between games. This is the synced main-series reference; check the rules of the game you are playing.
