Is struggle a physical or special move?

In the main Pokémon games, Struggle is a Normal-type Physical move that deals damage and causes recoil to the user, used when a Pokémon runs out of PP; it's a desperate attack, not a special energy blast, even though some confusion arises from similar-sounding moves like Struggle Bug. It makes contact and has no secondary effects, but always hurts the user slightly because it's a last resort, making it a physical, damage-dealing move.

In older games, types were fixed (Fire/Water/Grass = Special, Fighting/Ground/Rock = Physical), but now any type can be either, so checking the move's icon or description is key.

Is Dynamax or Gigantamax better?

Gigantamax is generally better for raw power due to stronger, unique G-Max moves and higher attack potential in games like Pokémon Go, but standard Dynamax offers flexibility with normal Max Moves (weather, terrain changes) and access to different types, making Dynamax strategic when a specific G-Max isn't available or when needing varied move coverage. Gigantamax changes appearance and has a special move; Dynamax only changes size but keeps typing and standard Max Moves, so the "better" choice depends on whether you need a powerful G-Max form or a flexible, standard Dynamax.
