Physical move

Damage categories
	Physical
	Special
	Status

Close Combat being used against Dudunsparce is an example of a physical move.

A physical move (Japanese: 物理技 physical move), sometimes referred to as physical attack, is one of the three categories of moves and one of the two that inflict damage.

Physical moves deal damage depending on both the Attack stat of the attacking Pokémon and the Defense stat of the defending Pokémon.

There are also a small number of special moves introduced in Generation V that are said to deal physical damage; although these moves are classified as special moves, they too deal damage based on the defending Pokémon's Defense stat (as opposed to its Special Defense).

While most physical moves make contact, some do not. For example, Earthquake does not make contact despite being a physical move.

Terminology

This is named "physical attack" in some move descriptions (for instance, Reflect). It is also referred to as "physical attack" at the Exchange Service Corner from the Battle Frontier in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver.

Generations I-III

Before Generation IV, whether a move was physical or special was determined by type. All damaging moves of the following types are physical moves:

•  Normal 
•  Fighting 
•  Flying 
•  Ground 
•  Rock 
•  Bug 
•  Ghost 
•  Poison 
•  Steel 

Hidden Power and Weather Ball are the only moves that can be either category, due to being able to change type.

Shadow moves

The following Shadow moves are physical moves:

Game	Move	Power	Accuracy	Range	Description
XD	Shadow Blast	80	100%	Normal (long-range)	A wicked blade of air is formed using a shadowy aura.
XD	Shadow Blitz	40	100%	Normal (long-range)	A Pokémon throws this tackle while casting a shadowy aura.
XD	Shadow Break	75	100%	Normal (long-range)	A shattering ram attack with a shadowy aura.

All details are accurate to Pokémon XD. For details that have changed between games, please see an individual move's page. Target data assumes user is in the lower left.

Additionally, ???-type Weather Ball is a physical move (only possible within a shadowy aura).

Generation IV onward

From Generation IV onward, every individual move is designated as either physical or special, independent of its type. Most damaging moves of the types that were physical before Generation IV are physical moves, and most Dark moves are also largely physical. However, there are exceptions, such as Focus Blast and Hyper Beam.

Z-Moves, Max Moves, G-Max Moves and Tera Blast can become physical depending on use.
