What type of bug are you reporting? Unsure
What is the bug?
The damage calculator on https://calc.pokemonshowdown.com/ has ShellSideArm does not take Unaware into account for the forecast, but the battle client does take it into account.
Are you able to replicate it? If so, how?
Using a Glowbro with ShellSideArm (equal attack and spatk), attack an Unaware Clodsire.
Without boosts, investment, or crits, it should do 36-43 damage (7.9-9.4%) as a physical move vs 24-28 damage (5.9-6.9%) as a special move.
Adding +6 Special Attack causes the calculator switch ShellSideArm to a Special move and reports it should be dealing 24-28 damage (as normal for a special move).
Attempting this in the battle client has it do 36-43 damage as a physical move. Specifically, thanks to Clodsire's Counter doing 82 damage back, we know it was physical damage and did exactly 41 damage.

Unfortunately, I am unable to test this on cartridge to see which is the correct behavior.
