 Moves are further defined as "physical" or "special"; before the "Diamond" and "Pearl" games, moves' status of being either physical or special depended on the type, rather than on the individual move.There are also "status" moves, which deal no damage and often inflict status changes on the defending or attacking Pokémon.Damage-inflicting moves remove a certain number of Health Points from the target Pokémon based on the types of the move and its target, and on the statistics of the two Pokémon.
