Example:
If a move has a base power of 90 and it gets 50% STAB bonus and 30% from Aerilate how is that calculated? Is is 50% from STAB and '''then''' 30% from Aerilate on top of that to come out at '''162'''?

30% boost?

I'm assuming that's only due to the fact that the only Pokémon that has this ability gets STAB from Flying type moves which really gives those moves a 50% boost. Same with the others, though no mention on Normalize? Guess I'm trying to understand the pattern here and whatnot since it makes less sense to me. ----NateVirus(Talk|Contributions) 19:46, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

Calculation

I'm still not clear on how to calculate this.

Example: If a move has a base power of 90 and it gets 50% STAB bonus and 30% from Aerilate how is that calculated? Is is 50% from STAB and then 30% from Aerilate on top of that to come out at 162? Or is it 50% from STAB and 30% from Aerilate together to give an additional 80% to make it 146? Or do you add the 30% first and then the 50% to make it 175.5? --Bry Landry (talk) 04:46, 27 June 2014 (UTC)

Rute using Aerilate

So, X's Pinsir, Rute, has Aerilate as a Mega Pinsir and there's a pic of Rute as Mega Pinsir using Feint. Should I add it here? YoungMan16 (talk) 02:34, 11 June 2021 (UTC)

Max Airstream

There are no Pokémon with Aerilate in Generation VIII. How can this ability affect Max Strike? --Marcodpat (talk) 19:08, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

I'm guessing it was added to the article based on an assumption of how it would work. I have removed it, as I don't believe Aerilate is in the Generation VIII games. Landfish7 06:36, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
