I know I made some moves ???-type in a Gold/Silver ROM hack once years ago, and I don't remember them doing abnormally low amounts of damage, but it's been a while... so I can't say off the top of my head whether they worked normally or not.  I do remember that Conversion 2 would crash the game if you tried to use it after being hit by an ???-type move, since ??? doesn't have any resistances defined for it.  I've never tried it in the 3rd-gen games, though.

But anyway... the whole "since ??? type wasn't defined as physical or special, attacks of that type would always do very little damage" thing just doesn't sound likely to me.  It sounds like the kind of thing someone would make up after the fact, not understanding how the old physical/special type system actually worked.  Anyone have a source for this claim??

===Struggle===
From [[Generation II]] onwards, Struggle affected all Pokémon with normal damage. The only type move that can do this is the [[??? type]]. However, if one hacks Struggle onto a Pokémon's moveset, it appears to be a [[Normal-type]] move. Why?
