       @SarcasmKid I think the idea was that only physical moves were supposed to be ghost due to the immunities between the two. Like if a ghost punched you it wouldn't phase you but an Ice Beam is an Ice Beam. But that gets thrown out the window when you consider that physical attacking ghosts were only introduced in gen3 and the most popular ghost move was shadow-ball.

       @SarcasmKid The real thing that confuses me though is how dark was special even though all of the good dark types were physical attackers and all the moves were obviously physical attacks like "Beat Up" (which actually used physical attack even pre gen4 so maybe bad example) and bite. Maybe thief could be special, it takes some smarts to steal something? idk
