Note 1: Shiny pokemons have 1.2x (20%) more stats than normal pokemons;
Note 2: Actually even special attack moves are calculated by Physical Values (Atk);
Note 3: Some pokes may be UBER in some iv/stats.
It means that you have to calculate your pokemon stats on: veekun.com to know if they are bad/good in any.
Check the complete MOVESET list of your pokémon on playerdex.com to make sure which level do you learn moves.

:: For PokeTrainers who like TRICKSTER others ::
Looking for tropius you'll think he's a grass type and never worry to use a electric move on him.
------ Wrong! On PWO he is a flying type!
If you think: -"Hey! Using Starmie/Rhydon w/ megahorn (bug move) i can kill it!"
------ Another mistake, he can survive and kill your rock/water poke.
And remember to never use ground moves on him, it's ineffective!

Nowadays (2009)
A Pokémon just have 1 type (first one).
Eg: Zubat (Poison/Flying) - is only Poison type;
"Steel" and "Dark" types are glitched, so they have no weaknesses or strengths against any other type;
"Psychic" attack moves are super-effective against Rock;
"Rock" attack moves are ineffective against "Ghost";
