Do Pokémon in Unite have the physical and special split between moves?

Question

(Idk how to phrase this question) Like for Glaceon, does icicle spears power get increased from attack boosting emblems / items or special boosting emblems / items? Glaceon is a special attacker but icicle spear is a physical move in the mainline games

Answer 1

In Pokémon Unite, Physical and Special is split between Pokémon. Glaceon is a Special Attacker which means all of its moves are Special. Therefore, using the Special Attack Stat

Another example is Tyranitar. It is a Physical attacker, so all of its moves are Physical, even the normally Special Dark Pulse and Ancient power. It’s power is based on its attack stat so it only gets bonuses from attack boosting emblems or items.

So basically, the answer is yes there is a SpA and ATK it is between Pokémon. One Pokémon is might use Attack, one SpA but a Pokémon can never have both.

Actually pokemon can have both. Every basic attack is physical, except boosted basic attacks(every 3rd basic attack), this boosted attack will be the pokemon's preferred stat. For example, Delphox is a special attacker, so the boosted attack is special. Cinderace is a physical attacker, so the boosted attack remains a physical attack.
