Special Attack determines the amount of damage dealt from a move that is in the Special category of attacks. An example of a special attack would be Bubblebeam. If an attack is in the special category, it means that it is an attack in which your Pokemon's body does not make physical contact with the other Pokemon. Example: Tackle would be a physical attack, because your Pokemon charges at your opponent's Pokemon, which makes them physically contact, while Bubblebeam is projected from a Pokemon's mouth, so your Pokemon does not physically touch your opponent's Pokemon. Special Defense deals with how much protection you get from Special category moves.
Yes, Thunderpunch is a special attack in the game. Thunderpunch didn't become a physical attack until Diamond/Pearl/Platinum, which introduced the physical/special split.
Haunter is a Pokemon that relies on special attack, so this isn't a good idea. Payback is a physical attack, so it's not a good idea to teach it to a Pokemon who has a higher special attack than attack.
Attack is the stat that determines the power of a physical move. sp attack is the power of the special move for example judgment does 100 damage but if the arceus has a higher attack than sp.attackthis move will only damage 100 rather than 145
In generations 1-3, Water, dragon, electric, fire, grass, dark, ice, and psychic types are all special attacks. In later generations, each attack is either special or physical, independent of type.

Double Edge is a physical attack.
Sp attack is Special Attack. The greater a Pokemon's special attack the more damage will be done when using a special attack. If you go into a Pokemon's summary screen and look at the moves screen and select them with the stylus the red and yellow symbol is a physical attack and the purple wave looking one denotes a special attack.

Ice Beam is a Special attack so it's power is based on your pokemon's Special Attack stat.
say if it is flame thrower the Pokemon does not make contact with the other the flamethrower does that is a special attack. Where a move like mach punch it makes physical contact and hits that is a regular attack.

It quite simple. It completely depends on weather its Special attack or attack is higher. If Special attack is higher it would be better for it to use special attacks like flamethrower but if attack is higher it would be better for it to use physical attacks like flame wheel.
There are ghost special attacks and ghost physical attacks in diamond and pearl.For example 'Shadow Claw' is a physical attack while 'Shadow Ball' is a special.
Attacks using your pokemon's teeth, claws, tails, wings, etc tend to be Physical Attacks, and these use your Attack stat. Attacks that take the form of beams, flames, bolts of lightning, are Special Attacks, and these use your Sp. Attack stat. Mystery Dungeon is a little more flexible than the main pokemon games. Feraligatr for example is a potent physical attacker, meaning it does more damage with a relatively weak Physical Attack, than a comparatively more powerful Special. The reason is, because Feraligatr's Attack is much higher than its Special Attack. Mystery Dungeon pokemon don't tend to develop in quite the same way, but it's worth keeping in mind that if your pokemon has been affected with a status effect that lowers Attack, it might be better to switch to Special moves until you can cure the status effect, etc.
skarmory can be found on route45 or 44 idk which but skarmory has no physical attack weaknesses and few special attack weaknesses
Adamant, but it also lowers Special Attack. So if you're using a pure physical attacking Pokemon, Adamant is probably your best bet.
