Furthermore physical attackers deal with Iron Barbs, Rocky Helmet, King's Shield, Spiky Shield, Swagger. Oh, and confusion hurts high attack pokemon more than high special attack pokemon.
Special has Tail Glow, Quiver Dance, Geomancy, Nasty Plot, Calm Mind.
Physical has Swords Dance, Dragon dance, and Bulk Up. And there is no special version of cotton guard.
What does physical get? Better distribution of priority, and no Blissey. There aren't half the counters to special than there are to physical.
