From [[Generation IV]] onward, every individual [[move]] is designated as either physical or special, independent of its [[type]]. Most damaging moves of the types that were physical before Generation IV are physical moves, and most {{t|Dark}} moves are also largely physical. However, there are exceptions, such as {{m|Focus Blast}} and {{m|Hyper Beam}}. | From [[Generation IV]] onward, every individual [[move]] is designated as either physical or special, independent of its [[type]].
