How Fighting moves deal damage in Scarlet & Violet

Each Fighting move in Scarlet & Violet is physical or special on its own, so check the category before you pick an attacker. The Fighting matchups here are the same as in today’s games.

HOW FIGHTING DAMAGE WORKS

PER MOVEATTACK / SP. ATK vs DEFENSE / SP. DEF

Each move has its own category: physical moves use Attack against Defense, special moves use Sp. Atk against Sp. Def. The move list above shows which is which.

TERASTALLIZING

Once a battle, each side can Terastallize one Pokémon, and until the battle ends it has a single Tera type in place of its usual one or two. Fighting moves that did normal damage before the change can hit 2× after it, and the reverse.
