This is probably a stupid question but I'm pretty confused. New to battling outside of main series.
Why does it seem like every moveset idea for Gengar puts EVs in SpA and then they make all his moves physical attacks? Like don't poison/ghost/fighting type moves all use the attack stat?
For example: http://www.smogon.com/dex/xy/pokemon/gengar/

OP pls, stop being a dumb dumb

Starting in Generation IV, attacks are individually classifed as Physical or Special, it's no longer based on type. So for example, Flamethrower and Hyper Beam are Special, while Fire Punch and Tackle are Physical.
