All of moves are dogshit because they hit everything on ungabunga busted garbage
homie what? Have you not seen the amount of special attackers that have been banned from Gen 9 competitive scene? Flutter Mane, Iron Bundle, Espathra, Volcarona, Blood Moon, Chi-Yu.
special has better moves e.g. some types only work with special moves like electric fire ice
physical types tend to be more effective e.g. ground and fighting and I think on average defense is lower than special defense. special attackers also have to confront blissey while physical wallbreakers can deal with skarmory corviknight etc.

They could have Psyshock or something, but realistically, who the frick is gonna run Psyshock over Psychic?
90 power physical moves with upside exist.
In fact look at Dark type >Physical

Physical generally has way better coverage, with most of them getting EQ, Knock Off, Close Combat, or elemental punches.
Special benefits from having generally better moves and secondary effects.
Specialchads don't get intimidated unlike physicalcucks
it's all fun and games until I put on the vest.
Both.
Physical is usually good for unga bunga damage, while Special has always been good for coverage. Honestly it depends on the metagame.
when im team building purely for story i usually only have one or two special dudes because physical animations are shorter

In game special attackers seem stronger while competitively it's the opposite

Neither. They both are Non-canon

Special is usually better but gets walled hard by Blissey and has to deal with Assault Vest to make up for it.
