STAB Explained

Bonus for Matching Move and Pal Types

Palworld - Kingpaca STAB

When Pals use moves or Active Skills that match their types, they gain a same-type attack bonus (STAB). STAB works regardless of type effectiveness, so it's always beneficial for your Pals to have a strong move with the same element.

In the image above, Kingpaca used Solar Blast on the left and Pal Blast on the right. Both moves have the same 150 Power, but on average, the Neutral-type Pal Blast dealt more damage as it has the same element as the Neutral-type Kingpaca.
