actually, what the hell is a stab anyway?

It's an acronym for "same type attack bonus". For instance, when Garchomp has the choice to use either Dragon Claw or Crunch (both Physical and with 80 of base power on a Pokémon neutral to Dragon-type and Dark-type), using Dragon Claw will hand the opponent's Pokémon more damage, as Garchomp is a Dragon-type Pokémon, just like the move.
