Understanding New Attack Types and Categories

New Attack Categories Explained

Laser's Additions introduces several fresh attack categories beyond the standard physical and special split:

• Kicking moves: Close-range physical attacks with unique animation and balance
• Throwing moves: Projectile-based attacks with different damage mechanics
• Hammer moves: Heavy striking attacks, often with high power
• Beam moves: Long-range special attacks with extended range
• Light moves: Special attacks with unique properties and effects

How They Affect Battles

Each category has distinct advantages. Beam moves excel at range, while kicking and hammer moves reward close positioning. Throwing moves may have accuracy or priority differences. Check individual move descriptions in your Pokémon's move menu to understand type matchups and stat scaling.
