Special Attacks Explained

Video Summary

In Pokemon, there are two types of attackers: Physical and Special. A Physical Attacker uses its Attack stat to calculate damage, while a Special Attacker uses its Special Attack stat. Moves can be either Physical or Special, and the type of move a Pokemon uses determines which stat is used to calculate damage. There are a number of factors to consider when deciding whether to use a Physical or Special Attacker on your team. Some Pokemon are better suited for one role than the other, and you may need to adjust your strategy depending on the opponent you're facing.
