If a Lickilicky used Explosion would the base power be 750?

Question

So I added STAB to the normal 250.
I got 375.
I read the description and it says something about the defense thing.
I saw that the base power was multiplied by 2.
375 x 2 = 750.
Have I done this right? If a Lickilicky uses Explosion prior to Gen V will it have 750 base power?

but doesn't the base power be doubled before the stab?

That would still be the same. 250 x 2 = 500
Half of 500 is 250.
250 + 500 = 750.
No difference.

Answer 1

Yes. You are correct.

Oh, my gosh...  That would be INCREDIBLY useful for competitive battling, since he's the ONLY pokemon that can get Explosion STAB.
