So why the hell did they have to nerf this move?
>Only useful for hitting 4x damage instead of free coverage. Which is why Ice,Fire,Rock,Grass, and Fighting are the only recommended types these days
>The only pokemon that appreciate the nerf are Roserade and Mr.Mime. Who would always run HP Rock or Fire due to having opponents that have STAB priority on one of their weaknesses
>Pokemon without a Sp.Atk boosting move are forced to ruin Life Orb or +Sp.Atk nature for this move to hit efficiently hard. Base 70 power was pretty decent damage back then. Now it's situational as shit.
