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.

What does special attack do on Pokemon mystery dungeon explorers of sky?
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.
