>>58738004Because GF assumed that 105 Attack and 130 Speed is enough to make it useful, even if best it could do in Gen I was spamming Hyper Beam.
In Gen 2 it got Ancient Power, EQ and few other good moves, but it's gen I trade exclusive so lol.
...You mean Smogonoff competitive memes? GF was never designing games around that and when Gen I and Gen II were developed, GF was more bothered with making somewhat good jrpgs instead of thinly veiled pvp client.
