>>53575371True. If I had 2 otherwise identical moves, one physical and one special, on a Pokemon with identical ATK and SpATK, the special one would be better 90% of the time.
However Special usually gets cucked in the move department. Basically all widely available 100+ power special moves have piss poor accuracy (blizzard, focus blast, hydro pump etc) whereas physical regularly gets moves like earthquake, flare blitz, and close combat that don’t have such RNG dependent downsides and can actually be built around.
