{{MoveCategories}}
<translate>The '''category''' (French: '''catégorie''' ''category'') of a {{TransLink|Move|move}} is a property of said move that determines the kind of {{TransLink|Damage|damage}} it deals.

If a move is {{TransLink|Physical move|physical}}, the {{TransLink|Damage Calculation|damage calculation}} is performed using the user's {{Stat|Attack}} and the target's {{Stat|Defense}}. If it is {{TransLink|Special move|special}}, it will use the user's {{Stat|Special Attack}} and the target's {{Stat|Special Defense}}.

==Status moves==
{{Main|Status move|Status move}}

Status moves act differently from both of the other move categories, as they don't do direct damage and instead focus on their special effects.

==Trivia==
* There are no {{TransLink|Special move|special}} {{1type|Fighting}} {{TransLink|Move|moves}}.</translate>
