Question

Does Silk Scarf affect stellar tera normal type moves like tera blast or tera starstorm?

Comments

If the move does normal-type damage, it is affected by silk scarf

---

@MonkeyBusiness I suppose I worded the question wrong then. I understand what the item does, I was more asking if stellar counts as normal type damage?

---

No it doesn't. It's Stellar type damage

Answer 1

Yes. as long as the move is calculated using normal type (no stellar does not count as normal because it has different resistances) the move is boosted by silk scarf. so tera blast can inly get boosted without tera, or tera normal

How do you know this? Did you test it yourself?

i didnt test it, i basically just sumarised the comments into a short informative answer

Answer 2

No, it does not.
I tested it in Pokemon Showdown, and there is no boost, there are only boosts from the Tera itself.
You can test it for yourself if you want to, it's very simple.

Hope I helped!
