A similar logic governs how Gengar is discussed under the physical/special split in Generation III. Because Ghost-type moves are physical and Gengar’s strengths lie in Special Attack, it is often framed as mismatched, another case of design working against itself! But this judgment begins from the assumption that the system exists to maximize offensive output. In that frame, anything that does not convert cleanly into damage appears deficient.
