Do the STAB boosts from Adaptability and Terastal stack?

Nov. 24, 2022

Should be self explanatory. Adaptability gives STAB moves a x2 boost instead of 1.5. Terastal also gives STAB moves a x2 boost. What is the interaction with the STAB boosts from Adaptability and Terastal? Do they stack to make it a total of a x4 boost to STAB? Does it stack, but not to a total of a x4 boost. Do the boosts from Adaptability and Terastal not stack?

Tera Water + Adaptability does more damage than just Adaptability, though by how much is hard to say (I originally suggested 2.25x STAB multiplier, which would be 9216/4096 I think).

tl,dr;Tera + Adaptability boosts damage more than regular AdaptabilityAdaptability boosts moves of user’s Tera typeAdaptability does not boosts moves of user’s original type when Tera’d

You’re right on this value, by the way! I saw this a few days ago and had to ask what causes Tera STAB to be upgraded from 8192 to 9216, because I am bad at Pokémon and forgot it existed.
