>>11853701Physical or special?
With Meteor Mash, Iron Tail, Bullet Punch, etc., we're pretty much set on physical attacks.
The problem is steel gets like, ZERO good special attacks. It's pretty much just Flash Cannon. And I know that people don't think of steel as being a SpAtk type, but Heatran, Magnezone, Bronzong (IIRC), Empoleon, and optionally Jirachi and Lucario can set it up as well.
Most steel type special attacks could really be considered "light type" in that they're based on concentrated light energy, too, and I'm sure there are plenty of creative options for moves like that.
Granted, steel is a pisspoor attacking type since it's only SE rock and Ice... Actually, what with steel special being based on light, maybe it ought to hit either dark or ghost (just one, you could argue for either I think) for SE as well. That might make it a more viable offensive type.
