>Self-Destruct and Explosion's learnsets baisically mirror each other
>both Normal Physical moves
>SD is just plain worse than Explosion
They should differentiate those desu.
>Explosion becomes Special and SD remains Physical, or alternatively, both now use the higher attacking stat
>SD becomes a single-target move, Explosion remains a spread move
>SD partially bypasses Protect, similar to Z-moves and G-max moves, while Explosion remains as it is
Justification is that SD is now getting up close and personal with the opponent before kaboom, so it'll blast them regardless, while Explosion is just Explosion.
