>>42475899Because Dragonbreath is meant to be a middling move that a selection of mostly Dragon-type monsters learn in the lv30-40 range, meaning you're supposed to upgrade it to better moves like Dragon Pulse down the line. Meanwhile Scald is meant as a lategame Technical Machine that you can teach as an alternative to moves like Surf, and has happened to find metagame use thanks to the burn proc chance.
