It makes sense.
And that’s it. That’s all it needed to do. Moves don’t all have to be “viable” or “meta”; they just have to make logical sense to a 10 year old target audience player. When a kid sees “Ice Punch”, they’re not gonna think:
>This move uses Sp. Atk because all Ice moves are Special, even though there’s not a single NPC anywhere in RBYGSCRSEFRLG that ever tells me this.
No, they’ll think:
>This move involves punching, which requires physical strength, so it uses Phys. Atk.
