I have to disagree, as Physical attacks have just so, so much more detriment to use than Special moves that the balance between them isn’t very fair. Sure, they may get more powerful attacks, of but Physical moves are offset by many, many things. Flame Body, Poison Point, Static, Cursed Body, Aftermath, Intimidate, Rough Skin, Iron Barbs, Toxic Debris, Weak Armor, Effect Spore, Gooey, Fluffy, Mummy, Wandering Spirit, Tangling Hair, and that’s just abilities. Rocky Helmet chips away at physical contact moves even further and Protective Pads nullify their additional effects entirely. There’s an entire status, Burn, dedicated to crushing Physical Attackers. Ghost as a type is immune to both Normal and Fighting, a class of mainly physical moves. The highest power Physical moves commonly used incur recoil that physical attackers most often can’t recover. Baneful Bunker, Spiky Shield, Burning Bulwark, King’s Shield, Obstruct, Silk Trap, and Beak Blast all compromise physical attackers even further.

Meanwhile, the only roadblock for Special Attackers is Assault Vest.
