I want to know why GameFreak thinks it's okay for Thunderbolt to be so much better than Wild Charge. High accuracy good damage moves usually have recoil or some sort of drawback, or they have lowered accuracy even if it's only 80-90 BP, . Then we get Thunderbolt, Flamethrower, Dazzling Gleam (80 BP, 100 Acc, and spread), but we get crap like Hammer Arm which is 100 BP, 90 acc, and gives the user -1 Speed,
>>44168677Accelerock is just a Quick Attack variant, and Smackdown is 50 base power. There are no high damage physical rock moves without lowered accuracy or some kind of drawback like recoil. Even Rock Slide is only 75 BP and only has 90 accuracy + spread, while Dazzling Gleam is 80 BP, 100 acc, and has spread while hitting 3 common offensive types for super effective damage. Play Rough is 90 BP and 90 acc. Physical moves are seriously outclassed by special moves.
