does kecleon get STAB

[Weedy]

I was just wondering if Kecleon can use his colour change ability to get STAB on moves that aren't normal type. For instance if he got hit by rock slide (and survived) then he used ancient power would he get STAB on the move making it a power 90 instead of 60?;352;

Also to confuse matters further, what if the colour change ability was traced? For example could a gardevoir get STAB on a thunderbolt with some nifty switching?

Yes, you will gain STAB.

Also yes to your second question. Since Kecleons' Colour Change is an Ability, it only changes its type, so it can be Traced by Gardevoir.

speaking of gardevoir:

what if a ralts/kirlia/gardevoir is put up against a castform. it'll trace forecast right? will anything happen to it when the weather changes?

Well, I haven't tried it myself to verify it, but I am pretty sure that Gardevoir can trace Forecast, and if Sunny Day, Rain Dance, or Hail is in effect, then Gardevoir's type will change from Psychic to the type that matches the current weather condition

Once I used role play in one castform (it was sun) with my alakazam, then one houndoom used flamethrower and it gave normal damage ¬¬
but it was in colosseum. colosseum has too many problems (like if we use mirror coat in hidden power)

but I think that in the game it works.

No I tried it with a alakazam who had role swap and the castform use rain dance and nothing happen.

I think forcast only works for castform. Other pokemon with forecast won't do anythong.
