In [[Generation I]], special moves cause damage depending on the {{stat|Special}} stats of both the attacking {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and the defending Pokémon. In later generations, special moves typically deal damage depending on the {{stat|Special Attack}} stat of the attacking Pokémon and the {{stat|Special Defense}} stat of the defending Pokémon. However, a small number of special moves introduced in [[Generation V]] actually deal damage calculated with the defending Pokémon's {{stat|Defense}} instead of its Special Defense stat.
