Really doesn't make a difference which attack stat you buff with new moves/abilities, he's really only ever gonna be mediocre.
Though, Flare Blitz/Wild Charge in addition to Reckless or Rock Head(Though that one makes fuck all sense on him) would make his physical options fairly interesting.
It sucks because his design is one of my favorites.
