When the type of a move matches one of the types of the Pokehero using it, the attack power will be increased by 50%. This is referred to as {{TransLink|Same-type attack bonus|same-type attack bonus}}, or STAB for short.<!-- As an example, an {{p|Aron}} that knows the {{type|Steel}} move {{m|Metal Claw}} will have the move's power increased by 50% because one of Aron's types is Steel; the power of {{m|Cut}} would not be increased as Normal is not one of Aron's types.-->

Some {{TransLink|Held Item|held items}} affect {{1type|Normal}} moves, such as the {{TransLink|Gun|Gun}} that raises the attack power of {{1type|Normal}} moves by 20%.
Some {{TransLink|Held Item|held items}} affect moves of a certain type, such as the {{TransLink|Gun|Gun}} that raises the attack power of {{1type|Normal}} moves by 20%.


When a Pokehero has two types, those two types are always listed in an {{TransLink|Type order|order specific to the Pokehero}}. This order changes which moves from each type the Pokehero will learn by leveling up, meaning that a {{2t|Normal|Fighting}} Pokehero and a {{2t|Fighting|Normal}} Pokehero will not necessarily have the same movepool, even though they technically have the same type combination.
