So wait, does Pixilate give STAB (1.5x the damage or +50% more damage) and then an additional 30% is added? or is there no STAB but 30% more damage added? Yamitora1 (talk) 00:38, 2 March 2014 (UTC)

There is both STAB and the 30% boost; it's pretty clear from the description. And that's the reason why Hyper Voice becomes stronger than Moon Blast.--Den Zen 01:15, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
So should STAB damage be mentioned in the article? like "Pixilate causes all Normal-type moves used by the Pokémon to become Fairy-type and receive 30% boost in addition to any STAB damage received."
Not sure if that is the best way to word it. With that wording, even if only fairy-types get the ability (so far) it leaves room for the possibility of the user's type changing and losing the STAB damage. Yamitora1 (talk) 02:43, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
I'd leave the STAB part out of it, because it's not actually part of the ability----BigBadBatter 02:47, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
