(Not really; Pokemon with high Special were only strong when attacked with Special moves, and high Special is usually proportional to low defense) |

The '''Special''' stat is an obsolete stat that existed only up to [[Generation II]]. | The '''Special''' stat is an obsolete stat that existed only up to [[Generation II]]. The Special stat accounted for what is currently known as Special Attack and Special Defense, determining how much damage a Pokémon both receives and deals when [[special move]]s are used. With Generation II, the Special stat was outwardly split into Special Attack and Special Defense, meaning Pokémon could have different [[base stat]]s for both, and those stats were both displayed on a Pokémon's stat screen; however, [[individual value]]s and [[effort value]]s remained unsplit, so that there was only a Special individual value and Special effort values, which affected both the Special Attack and Special Defense stats. In [[Generation III]], IVs and EVs were finally given both Special Attack and Special Defense values as well. | ||
