Check on serebii.net, they have infomation on all attacks, of their types, like normal special and so on. All the moves are the same as they are on D/P.

You asked, and I told you. Perhaps, not making topics, while high might help. I just gave you a list on moves that are either special and physical.

FYI, it's not seperated by type.

As you probably already notice physical attacks work for attack and special attacks work for sp attack so its a bit logical when you think about it for example don't give Rhydon surf.

Think of it as internal and external injuries, an earthquake will give you scratches and injuries so its physical not special, lots of water can be cold and can give you a bad cold etc. so surf is special. This is the same for sludge bomb fire blast and other things. Stuff like slash and shadow force etc are physical.

The only one that isnt so obvious is waterfall which is physical, if you want to know just go on the pokemon stat menu and press A on a move, it will tell you whether its physical or special by its symbol ( a red symbol is physical) and a (blueish symbol is special) stat changers like will-o-wisp are neither

Side note: The 4th and 3rd generation have a different system when it comes to physical and special moves the 4th generation is more logical and is like what I explained above but the 3rd is seperated into types for example water moves are special and steel moves arent in the 3rd generation
