STAB on non-damaging moves?
Wasn't sure if this was the proper place to put this, but anyways:
Why is STAB listed for non-damaging moves such as Screech? Pokemon like Honchkrow don't get STAB on Screech, it doesn't do any damage >_<
This brings up another point, why isn't there a flag for "does damage"? seems like it would be pretty simple to add.
Anyways thanks for putting up with my nitpicking.
It shouldn't be. I'm pretty sure there's already a bug filed for that.
Anything physical or special does direct damage. There are a few non-damaging things that can take HP away without directly doing damage (Spikes, Pain Split) but I think most cases would be covered by looking for physical-or-special.
You can also use this list of moves that do direct damage or this list of moves that do not.
cool, thanks!
Searching by power is iffy and might break if we decide to use different database values for special powers. Looking for things assigned a damage class vs things classed as non-damaging makes way more sense!
