-'''Damage categories''' are categories that separates moves based on the kind of damage they deal.
+#REDIRECT [[Pokemon Mechanics#Category]]
-This Categories determine which "Attack" or "Defense" would use a Pokémon in the moves.
-There are Three Categories:
-===Physical===
-A physical move is one in which the user uses its physical strength or solid projectiles in order to damage its foes. Damage dealt by a physical move depends on both the '''[[Attack]]''' stat of the attacking Pokémon and the '''[[Defense]]''' stat of the defending Pokémon.
-===Special===
-A special move is one in which the user does not necessarily have to make contact with its opponent in order to deal damage. Special moves deal damage as a function of the '''[[Special Attack]]''' stat of the attacking Pokémon and the '''[[Special Defense]]''' stat of the defending Pokémon.
-===Other/Status===
-A "Status" or "Other" move is a move that, in the Pokémon games, does no direct damage, but instead causes a [[Weather]] condition, [[status ailment]], or changes the stats of a Pokémon during battle. This includes also other attacks which cannot be categorized under physical moves and special moves because of their unique or nearly-unique effects.
