Main reasons is when you look at the big dragons in OU most can be covered with a combination of Signal Beam and Shadowball or are neutral to electric. Whilst Signal Beam lets it do something resembling damage against T-tar and kill Celebitch outright. Then you have the common counters like Ferrothorn, Gastrodon who cockblock it all day no matter what it's running.

There is a huge difference between Escavalier which wrecks shit even without TR and Druddigon who dies like a bitch.
