Do status moves get STAB?

Question

So for example if my lillipup used tail whip then would it lower the defence more than if my oshawott used it (lillipup=normal oshawott=water)

Answer 1

No. Only ATTACKING moves can receive STAB. Lillipup's Tackle would do more than Oshawott's Tackle.

Answer 2

No they don't.
The only moves that get Same Type Attack Bonus are attacking moves.

Answer 3

No, Status Moves do not get STAB at all. So if a Lillipup and Oshawott use Tail Whip, they will both lower Defense by 1 stage regardless of the Stat.

Answer 4

No only damage moves that dont have a set damage get stab.
As for tail whip its def would be lowered by 1 stage and always would be unless they had the ability contrary.
