>>20863897PUP is a 40 base contact move, 100 chance to +1 Att. Charge Beam is a 50 base with a 70 chance to +1 SpA.
>>20864047Blissey/Chansey/Florges exist. Skamory stopped being an equivalent the moment Gen 4 brought out Flare Blitz.
Most all the staple elemental beam/dmeteor tier moves were nerfed; none of the physical moves were nerfed. Special has now mostly been limited to 90-110. Physical moves have a plethora of 100-120 base moves.
Contact moves aren't limited to Physical (EQ doesn't contact, Grass Knot does).
Sword Dance is common and widely spread, Curse/Coil/Bulk Up/Dragon Dance pick up the rest of the slack.
Nasty Plot is rare and limited in distribution (much less good abusers), Calm Mind/Quiver Dance have to make do, and DQ is only available for few bugs.
*Tail Glow, Gear Shift discounted for extreme limited distribution, Shell Smash/Growth/Work Up does both.
Confide and Eerie Impulse are newly introduced Gen 6 moves, drawback free (aside distribution on EI), solely to screw over Special Attackers.
It isn't so simple to merely say that it's justified because Physical has it 'worse.'
