I know defense curl doubles the power of rollout from 30 to 60 on turn one, and eventually reaching 960 on the turn five. But if a rock type Pokemon does this, with the STAB bonus, does the turn one power after using defense curl start at 90 and eventually get up to 1440 on turn five?

I figure; 30 base power + 15 from the STAB is 45. Then defense curl would double that to 90.

This is for a casual gen 2 playthrough if that makes any difference.

If it's different in any generation than the rest of the franchise, it will be in Gen 2

Yes, the 1st turn usage of Rollout w/STAB while doubled by Defense Curl does equal 90.
30 x 2 = 60 x 1.5 = 90
Yes, STAB on Rollout at max power while doubled by Defense Curl does equal 1440.
480 x 2 = 960 x 1.5 = (960 + 480) or 1440

Technically STAB is a damage multiplier, not a power multiplier, but they have almost the exact same effect on the move's actual damage.
