==Move==
I didn't propose the move, but I definitely support it (if we want to stick to the template and what's displayed onscreen), seeing that {{m|Secret Sword}}, for example, is said to deal "physical damage" by its Pokédex entry when in fact it is a [[special move]]. The leading sentence should then be changed (and focus on the SpAtk vs. Atk). [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 12:30, 7 August 2016 (UTC)
:I also support this. Not all moves deal damage-most status moves don't, in fact-so damage category is a bit misleading. [[User:TechSkylander1518|TechSkylander1518]] ([[User talk:TechSkylander1518|talk]]) 21:17, 3 January 2017 (UTC)
::My approval. [[User:TheUltimateGamer|TheUltimateGamer]] ([[User talk:TheUltimateGamer|talk]]) 15:25, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
I believe the article should be moved, in order to avoid confusion between damaging and non-damaging moves.

I cast my vote in favour. Status moves aren't a damage category at all, now, are they? [[User:Pichugetic|Pichugetic]] ([[User talk:Pichugetic|talk]]) 04:45, 13 December 2022 (UTC)

The fact that this page hasnt been moved for at least 5 and a half years is astounding. I vote in favour of the move. [[User:SylveonRando1|SylveonRando1]] ([[User talk:SylveonRando1|talk]]) 17:40, 19 February 2023 (UTC)

== ???-type ==

The page mentions the Bird-type is physical, but what about the unused ???-type in the Gen II/III games? [[User:WOLKsite|WOLKsite]] ([[User talk:WOLKsite|talk]]) 20:25, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
:The ??? type in Gen 3 is neither physical nor special; types before it are counted as physical and types after it are counted as special. [[User:ThomasWinwood|ThomasWinwood]] ([[User talk:ThomasWinwood|talk]]) 06:33, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
::Meaning it uses neither physical nor special stats in Generation III. Whereas in Generation II, were attacks of the ??? type, they would be physical and use Attack and Defense. [[Talk:???
