>>44783576>Moonblast is factually stronger than Tbolt/Flame Thrower/Surf/Psychic/Energy Ball/Shadow Ball/Flash Cannon/Sludge Bomb/Aura Sphere/Dark Pulse/Ice Beam/Earth Power. Not just by having more base power, but also having a 30% chance to activate its secondary effect as opposed to 10% on Flame Thrower/Tbolt/Ice Beam/etc, or Surf, which has no secondary effect.major status effects are a lot more game defining than minor ones. a burn cuts your attack in half for the rest of the game. Para your speed. Ice stops you from attacking all together. Slightly less special defence can be ignored depending on how much you had to begin with, whether you are faster than the opponent or just... switching out. Surf has no secondary effect but scald does. a much more powerful secondary effect than moon blast.
>There are effectively 0 safe switchins to Fairy type attackers thats fucking hilarious. you need quad resist to switch in? was toxapex not good enough for you? will you not be happy until you take no damage? what do you do if some one knocks out your ground type then starts using thunder bolt? start crying because you didn't bring flaplin. check this out, standard ou clef vs standard ou sweeper venusaur
>0 SpA Clefable Moonblast vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Venusaur: 49-58 (16.2 - 19.2%) -- possible 6HKOits fucking nothing. Standard ou clef vs standard ou excadrill
