can some one tell me what a Sp.attack is

Question

can some one give me a few example of what a Sp.attack is

Answer 1

Special attack is for non pysichal moves.
So your attack is for moves like close combat which are pysichal moves where as special moves such as ice beam which are done from afar use your special attack.
Pysichal moves target the opponents def and special moves (excluding psychock and psystrike) target the foes special def.
