Now this just emphasizes the problem of being slightly more defensive oriented while not having a recovery. You can't boast a curse set nearly as well now. And even if it got shift gear, it wouldn't be nearly as effective, especially due to sucker punch.

That means it has something like a 60% chance of being OHKO'd after a single life orb usage.
