Is STAB affected by swords dance?
I know that when you use swords dance your attack stat increases by 100% each time you use swords dance. I also know that STAB increases moves of the same type as the user by 50%. So I am wondering if STAB increases by 100% when using swords dance? Aka does physical STAB bonus double in power when you use swords dance?

*STAB boosts a move by 50%, not 20%
*Swords Dance doubles the Attack stat

Nope, that’s not how it works. Stab is independent from any source of boosts. As aug said, it boosts moves of the same type of the user by 50%. Stab itself isn’t affected by swords dance, as it is a percentage boost, so technically it is just adding a modifier
