Aside from giving Normal-type moves Ice, Flying and Fairy typing, respectively, the -ate abilities also add a 30% boost to any moves affected by an ability. For example, Mega Pinsir's Return gets Flying STAB as well as an extra 30% damage increase.

This information is currently missing from all three pages.

I learnt this too late.
Is there a particular reason why you didn't just answer the "minor error" thread?
I feel this is a bit bigger than a minor error, as it is an important statistic and critical component of these Abilities. If it was only missing on one ability I would put it there, but this information is missing from all three pages and that's a pretty big thing.
I guess so, but if this site got people to use mega Pinsir, mega Altaria, or mega Gardevoir less, then Pokemon battling might actually become more fun (at least for me).
I can't help but notice that two-thirds of the Pokémon you mentioned are Fairy-types XD
@Spook Hey, it's not my fault that those are the only ones that I see in OU.

Thought I'd already corrected this years ago but turns out I hadn't. The boost is now 20% so I've updated with all the correct info :)
