The Special stat determined a Pokémon's attack power and defense with Special attacks.This breathed new life into many Pokémon screwed over by this mechanic, while allowing future Pokémon to have more diversity in their stat distribution and still remain effective. Starting in Gen 4, each move would be classified as Physical or Special on an individual basis. Dark-type moves were designated as Special-based, so they were never able to take advantage of both their stats and their typing.
For example, most Dark-type Pokémon introduced in Gens 2 and 3 had a high Attack stat and relatively bad Special Attack. Besides being unintuitive, such as Fire Punch being a Special move, this caused balance issues that crippled many Pokémon who specialized in the attacking stat unsupported by their typing. Moves being determined as Physical or Special based on their typing.
