Now it's basically a special version of Meteor Mash, since Steel types didn't have a strong special move yet.

>Effect: +1 SpA, +1 Spe, +12% HP
A different take on Quiver Dance, gives a little recovery instead of a SpD boost. Fits the theme of grass types having a lot of recovery moves.

>Effect: User takes 1/3 recoil damage
An alternative to Stone Edge, trading recoil damage for better power + accuracy. Good for rock types with high HP.

Gives Psychic types a good physical move (80 BP is the highest physical psychic move), a variant of Power Whip, Megahorn, etc
