Technician's effect on Confusion?

I noticed that my Scizor got hit a lot more than my other Pokémon when it hurt itself due to confusion. Since Confusion treats that attack as a base power 40 typeless attack, does that get affected by Technician too, or is it just me? --Jayc 12:53, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

Good question. I guess it needs Spading. ×Kevzo8 12:58, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

STAB?

If the Pokémon with Technician uses a STAB move with 60 base power, does it still receive a Technician boost?

For example, if I had an Ambipom with Technician, and it would use Swift, would it still get the Technician boost, even if STAB boosts Swift's base power? Dilophosaurus Rex 16:30, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

Technician boost takes priority. Otherwise, super-effective moves would never get a Technician boost. bookofveteran 20:22, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
