I've added the section "Effects of contact" which needs expanding. I've begun with abilities that are affected by contact moves. -TIMMY 11:14, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
list of contact moves
A list of moves which make contact would be a good addition to this. Eric the espeon 14:05, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
- Yeah. Is it that hard to just copy from the Japanese version of the page? TorchicBlaziken (talk•edits) 18:13, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
- Hi. This is a wiki. You're welcome to make changes yourself. —darklordtrom 18:34, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
Damage type of Contact moves
The article states that
ever since the distinction between physical and special were no longer based on types, most moves that make contact are physical.
but it also states
Post-Gen IV, Damage dealing for moves that make contact are always calculated using the attacking Pokémon's Attack and the defending Pokémon's Defense.
This implies that special moves that make contact (according to the Japanese wiki page these are Trump Card, Grass Knot, Wring Out and Petal Dance) deliver physical damage despite having a special type. Please either clarify or correct this as appropriate ._. Hyperworm 13:11, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
- Smogon and other sites have counted these moves as special for years. If there was something like this, it might have been noticed by now. Still, someone should definitely test this. TorchicBlaziken (talk•edits) 01:49, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
