Rejected Adding a "stab" category in movesearch

[InpieDie]

As the title suggests, adding a stab category in /movesearch command when looking for a particular Pokemon would be very helpful. Furthermore if the stab category could only include damaging move, it'll be cherry on the top.

very minor addendum, it should probably include "bp>1"to avoid like seismic toss and dragon rage

 

[Mathy]

another very minor addendum, it should error out if multiple pokemon are specified that dont share any types

This wouldn't apply to a movesearch, though

Or are you thinking of it also applying to dexsearch?

I guess I should rephrase. If I perform the query /ms furret, ampharos, stab what should happen? I can think of 3 reasonable options:

1. Give all Normal and Electric attacks that both can learn
2. Return an empty result, because there are no moves that both get STAB from
3. Give an error message that these Pokemon can not possibly share STAB

#1 is counterintuitive as the moveset search itself is a conjunction, but the STAB filter is being treated as a disjunction. #2 is reasonable but #3 is ideal.

Or maybe it just shouldn't allow multiple Pokemon at all.

I actually quite like the #3
Just giving the error msg if both the Pokemon don't share a type
And displaying the #2 msg if and only if both or more Pokemon actually share a type.

Can't you just add in the types to the query?

Can't you just add in the types to the query?

Because of this, rejecting this.
