Which types are now more Physical than Special, and vise versa?

1 minute read

For example, Dark was a Special type before the Physical-Special split. Now out of 46 Dark type moves, only three are special. (Dark Pulse, Snarl, Baddy Bad.) Are there any more types like this, where the majority of moves are either physical or special, but the typing as a whole was the opposite before the Physical-Special split?

Grass: grass used to be a special type but now it has17 physicalmoves and14 specialones.

Poison: poison used to be physical but now it has10 specialmoves and6 physicalones.

Ghost: this one was surprising, ghost actually has more physical moves that special ones which means that game freak was right when making every ghost move physical from gen 1 to 3. Ghost has6 specialmoves and13 physicalones. Even less than half

Dark(obviously): dark used to be special for some reason but now it has4 specialmoves and23 physicalones. I don’t know what game freak was thinking making all dark moves special from gen 1 to 3.

Keep in mind that I included Z moves

Physical: Normal Fighting Flying Poison Ground Rock Bug Ghost SteelSpecial: Fire Water Grass Electric Psychic Ice Dragon Dark
