# 3. Physical, Special and Status Skills

**Physical Skills** are moves that use **ATK stat** as their main damage base.

**Special Skills** are moves that use **SPA stat** as their main damage base. 

**Status Skills** are moves **that don’t deal damage** but **deploy different utilities** in the game that could be either helpful to your team or undesirable to your opponent.

**Example:** Earthquake is a Physical Skill with an Earth Element type. 

To maximise the damage of this skill, you need to have the following: 

* High stats on ATK.
* Attacking a Revomon that is weak against Earth (e.g. Poison, Stone, Metal and Fire). 
* Attacking Revomon is the same element type as the element type of the skill being used (e.g. Monking & Earthquake).

Keep in mind that Revomons that use a damaging skill against an element type that is strong to will **get x1.5 the damage** but if the Revomon is the same element type as the attack skill, **the damage is now boosted to x 2.**

***PRO TIP:*** *It would be important to note that when training your Revomon, teach them the moveset that is aligned with their stats. E.g. If you teach Dazzling Gleam which is a Special Attack to a Leximinth which would have more stats in ATK, the move will not deal much damage even with the same element type boost.*
