A '''special move''' is one in which the user does not necessarily have to make [[contact]] with its opponent in order to deal damage. In [[Generation I]], special moves cause damage as a function of the Special stats of the two battling {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. In later generations, special moves deal damage as a function of the {{stat|Special Attack}} stat of the attacking Pokémon and the {{stat|Special Defense}} stat of the defending Pokémon. It is notable that while most special moves do not contact their target(s), special and non-contacting moves are not the same: an example is {{m|Grass Knot}}, which, despite being special, requires that the user make contact with the target.
A '''special move''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|特殊技|とくしゅわざ}}''' ''special move'') is one of the three categories of [[move]]s and one of the two that inflict damage.


Before [[Generation IV]], damaging moves of the following [[type]]s are special moves:
In [[Generation I]], special moves cause damage as a function of the Special stats of the two battling {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. In later generations, most special moves deal damage as a function of the {{stat|Special Attack}} stat of the attacking Pokémon and the {{stat|Special Defense}} stat of the defending Pokémon.
* {{t|Water}}
* {{t|Grass}}
* {{t|Fire}}
* {{t|Ice}}
* {{t|Electric}}
* {{t|Psychic}}
* {{t|Dragon}}
* {{t|Dark}}


As of [[Generation V]] most damaging [[move]]s of the preceding [[type]]s are special moves, except for {{t|Dark}}, which has only three.
A small number of special moves introduced in [[Generation V]] actually deal physical damage, calculating damage using the attacking Pokémon's Special Attack and the defending Pokémon's {{stat|Defense}}.


== Trivia ==
While most special moves do not make [[contact]], some do. For example, {{m|Grass Knot}} makes contact despite being a special move.
* All types that were considered special before Generation IV (except for Dragon) are represented in Eevee's evolutionary family (i.e. {{p|Vaporeon}} for Water, {{p|Jolteon}} for Electric, {{p|Flareon}} for Fire, etc.)

==Generation IV onward==
From [[Generation IV]] onward, most damaging [[move]]s of the preceding [[type]]s are special moves, except for {{t|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 {{m|Psyshock}}, {{m|Psystrike}}, and {{m|Secret Sword}}.
