Status |
A special move (Japanese: 特殊技 special move) is one of the three categories of moves and one of the two that inflict damage.
In Generation I, special moves cause damage depending on the Special stats of both the attacking Pokémon and the defending Pokémon. In later generations, special moves typically deal damage depending on the Special Attack stat of the attacking Pokémon and the Special Defense stat of the defending Pokémon. However, a small number of special moves introduced in Generation V actually deal physical damage, with their damage calculation being dependent on the defending Pokémon's Defense instead of its Special Defense stat.
While most special moves do not make contact, some do. For example, Grass Knot makes contact despite being a special move.
Generation I-III
Before Generation IV, all damaging moves of the following types are special moves:
Shadow moves
The following Shadow moves are special moves:

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. |
Generation IV onward
From Generation IV onward, most damaging moves of the preceding types are special moves, except for Dark, which has only three.
Generation V also introduced three moves categorized as special moves but that deal physical damage. That is, they use the user's Special Attack and the target's Defense to calculate damage. These moves are Psyshock, Psystrike, and Secret Sword.
