Why has GF still not nerfed this move?

Grassy Terrain fucks it over pretty good. The only real problem with it is the distribution of it anyway.

It's the only relevant physical ground move, there's high horsepower but it'll be restricted a bit

It's the highest BP ground move (ignoring Precipice Blades), and it has a type with a very common immunity. Grassy terrain also fucks it over.

Why isn't there at least one 120 base power Ground type move? Precipice Blades notwithstanding.

Fly and Levitate, obvious as fuck to predict, damages your mon so you need to force a protect or bring a flying/levitate pokémon, bothem of which give your opponent prediction momentum.

And now grassy terrain even nerfs it.
There's no real need for a nerf.

Because sibgle target ground attacks would be too good in VGC.
That's why High horsepower is 95BP 95Acc.

First, they did with Tapu Bulu.
Second, Flying types and Levitate nulls it, which is a very large chunk of mons.
Third, GF doesn't care about singles, they care about doubles.
Fourth, Japan respects earthquakes, since earthquakes fuck their shit up so much.

Stone edge sucks famalam and not a reason to nerf earthquake

Like others said levitate and flyers exist, theres even less reason to nerf eq with bulu around
