Which moves had their damage category changed in Gen 5 or later?

Question

In Gen 4, many moves had their category changed from Physical to Special or from Special to Physical because of the Physical/Special split causing them to no longer by sorted by type.

Seeing Dark Void change from a status to a special move in Z-A made me wonder if any other moves have had their move categories changed after moves had already been updated to reflect the split (i.e., Gen 5 or later). Dark void is still an interesting case cause I think it's the only move thats changed from a status to an attack at the top of my head

Comments

Gen 1 to 2
Bite: physical to special

Gen 6 to 7
Water shuriken: physical to special

Legends Arceus only
Double hit: physical to status
Spikes: status to physical
Stealth rock: status to physical

This question will be much easier to answer after someone makes sure the Bulbapedia page is up to date with LZA. Also the split happened in gen 4, not gen 5.

This question wasn't asking about the physical-special split, it was asking about moves changing category after the split had already happened.
Also, Dark Void was changed to a special move in Legends Z-A, as seen here: https://www.serebii.net/attackdex-sv/darkvoid.shtml

Yes, that's why I ignored gen 4 and just listed the changes that happened in other generations.
According to this video, dark void is a status move in LA: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-MmWikhweM

Legends Z-A, not LA :/
Fair for your other point, though.

---

In that case, I guess I'll convert my answer to a comment for now.

I double-checked what was said, I didn't mean to copy

It's better to comment directly on the answer itself instead of my wall. The BDSP thing to LA is slightly on my fault for not being able to read properly, but regardless, I think it's better to simply state that those changes only happen in Legends Arceus.

Sorry for accusing you of copying, the last line just came off as familiar to me.


Also, do you happen to know of any other moves that change category in Legends Z-A besides Dark Void?

---

I tried to edit the aforementioned changes real quick, please review my changes and ensure it's accurate as I did it fast. However, I am not seeing that dark void has changed. I reviewed the links posted and I'm only seeing status, not special. Therefore, I did not change that yet. Can you show me where it says special?

---

In the Serebii link, scroll down to the Legends Z-A section. It shows Dark Void has a base power of 60. It doesn't explicitly state it's a special move on this page but the question says it's a special move.

---

I didn't know which one would be easier to contact you with, cheers!

I didn't see anywhere where it said special either

---

Oh, I see. It's kinda hidden, and even on Bulbapedia's page for Dark Void, it doesn't mention it. I can see how it was missed. I will edit it in. the answer should now be accurate with all the information known at this time.

---

Not all the Legends Z-A move info is updated on sites like Bulbapedia, which is why sumwun made their previous answer a comment.

---

It's a future-sensitive question, I think it's fine to have an answer with all the known information at the time, and can edit in information as it becomes known and documented.

---

Makes sense, that's fair.
As a side note I still think it's better to say the Gen 8 changes apply only to Legends Arceus instead of also.

---

Cheers, and I'm sorry for the bother!
