>>54778026In gen 1 flash had 70 accuracy and this had 80
Sand attack was only learnable by like 5 evolution lines and only feels common because pidgey gets it at level 5
Smokescreen was only on 3 lines
If for whatever god forsaken reason you wanted your alakazam to have an accuracy debuff, this was actually the best option, it just so happened to be viable for one half of a generation before it got double team in gen 2
(I know double team requires a single use TM and isn't a debuff but I still consider it objectively better in every scenario)
