Shank

Replacement for the term, STAB, which means 'Same Type Attack Bonus' in the Pokemon. Shank gives a 1.5x damage increase if the move used is of the same type as the user.

Also Pseudo-Shank, which refers the same 1.5x damage increase using an item, such as Choice Specs.

"Damn Rain Dance. Starmie Hydro Pumped and shanked me for 2.0x damage."
