Overview
Different attacking categories still matter.
How it works
Pokémon attacks can emphasize different damage categories, which makes the attacker’s strengths and the move choice relevant alongside type. Real-time mechanics introduce additional movement considerations.
How to play
Review each Pokémon’s available moves and stats in the actual game before choosing a set. Test whether the attack’s timing works with your approach.
Mistakes to avoid
Do not copy damage calculations from a different generation without validating Z-A’s own formula.

Practice exercise
Choose one familiar wild encounter and use the selected move system in isolation. Record whether your attacks connect, whether you survive counterattacks and when cooldowns limit your options.
