Normal and Special Moves

DISCLAIMER: The description of Special Moves in the story of LOA isn't related to the actual difference of Physical/Special moves in regular pokemon games,a physical moves can be considered as a "Special move",more info below

-This Page will probably have some changes in the near future-

In the Universe of LOA, some moves can be considered "Special" depending on some conditions:

-a Special move is a move that isn't the same type of the user: For example,if a Grass-type pokemon use Giga Drain,it won't be considered a Special Move, however,if it is a Bug type Pokemon,it will be considered a special move

In other words, a Special Move is a move that doesn't apply the STAB [Same Type Attack Boost, it makes the moves deals 1,5x damage is the move is the same type of the pokemon]

Certains moves can't be considered Special, whether it apply the STAB or not, suchas usual Normal-type moves like Tackle or Scratch,they'll be always considered Normal Moves.

Aswell,some moves can be considered "Normal Moves" depending on your anatomy (biting someone (aka using Bite) can't be considered special if you have a mouth and some teeth)

-Need precision here is all Normal-Type Moves will be considered as Normal, I think certain Moves can be considered Special if not of Same type, like Hyper Beam or Boomburst-

It is important to note that the move Hidden Power will always be considered a Special move,even if it happens to be the same type as the pokemon,because of the nature of HiddenPower
