Special attack cause its a electric type.
Yes, Thunderpunch is a special attack in the game. Thunderpunch didn't become a physical attack until Diamond/Pearl/Platinum, which introduced the physical/special split.
It quite simple. It completely depends on weather its Special attack or attack is higher. If Special attack is higher it would be better for it to use special attacks like flamethrower but if attack is higher it would be better for it to use physical attacks like flame wheel.
There are ghost special attacks and ghost physical attacks in diamond and pearl.For example 'Shadow Claw' is a physical attack while 'Shadow Ball' is a special.
Double Edge is a physical attack.
Yes, they do, but only when you have on all other pieces of the Torag set. This special attack is not that great though, compared to the other sets.
its a pixel attack. doesnt exist goddamnit.
Sp attack is Special Attack. The greater a Pokemon's special attack the more damage will be done when using a special attack. If you go into a Pokemon's summary screen and look at the moves screen and select them with the stylus the red and yellow symbol is a physical attack and the purple wave looking one denotes a special attack.
Special Attack determines the amount of damage dealt from a move that is in the Special category of attacks. An example of a special attack would be Bubblebeam. If an attack is in the special category, it means that it is an attack in which your Pokemon's body does not make physical contact with the other Pokemon. Example: Tackle would be a physical attack, because your Pokemon charges at your opponent's Pokemon, which makes them physically contact, while Bubblebeam is projected from a Pokemon's mouth, so your Pokemon does not physically touch your opponent's Pokemon. Special Defense deals with how much protection you get from Special category moves.
Ice Beam is a Special attack so it's power is based on your pokemon's Special Attack stat.
In Pokémon Emerald, Shadow Ball is a special attack. It has a base power of 80 and a special category, meaning it uses the Special Attack stat of the Pokémon using it. Shadow Ball is also effective against Ghost-type Pokémon and can lower the target's Special Defense.
In the 3rd Gen games Crunch is a Special Attack as well as Crabhammer. All moves in 3rd Gen are determined by their their Type, unlike 4th Gen where moves are all different according to whether they should be physical or special. For example, Crunch is a Special Attack like Shadow Ball is a Physical Attack. Judging by those examples, all Dark attacks (Crunch, Bite, Faint Attack, etc.) will be Special Attacks and all Ghost attacks (Shadow Ball, Shadow Punch, Lick, etc.) will be Physical Attacks. Another example is Crabhammer, which you may figure would be a Physical Attack since Kingler will be attacking with his crab claw, but it is in fact a Special Attack because of it's Water element in 3rd Gen. In 4th Gen however, Crabhammer is a Physical Attack.
