>loses half its maximum HP
The HP recoil from Head Smash but with 50 less BP. This shows that Game Freak doesn't know what they're doing.

Can we rape and murder Pikachu already?

It's a Jump Kick clone. Still a garbage move considering the original Jump Kick does no longer exist and High Jump Kick has 130 power, and Electric immunities are even more common than Fighting immunities.

Aero last is already there, all it needs it's to break free.

Rock is also stuck in exclusive move jail.

Yes? I do think physical electric types should have like, something usable for STAB? It doesn't have to be God's Gift To The Earth but you know there should be a middle ground between spark and this.

Just make Volt Tackle more accessible & I'll shut up about Physical Electric being shit

Still doesn't change the fact that outside of Mascot/Legend/Mythical privilege(s) Electric is the most cucked type due to lack of movepool, coverage, & worst of all design elements. It's really telling when the most notable thing your type has going for you is the status & that's it. FUCK the Electric type

And ground
And fire
And grass
And dragon
...
Actually now that I think about it, it's probably easier to list the types that don't get good options on both sides.

It's meant to be a coverage move. Rain teams get surprise pikachu'd when my Great Tusk KO's their Pelipper.

They do this shit all the time. Triple Kick has half of Triple Axel's power for some reason.

Jump Kick being removed was so fucking funny. Dodrio got nerfed for no reason other than Gamefreak’s laziness, and Dodrio isn’t even good.

The fact Wild Charge still doesn't have the same base power like everyother Double-Edge clone is worse.

Jump Kick was replaced by Axe Kick, basically.

The weird thing is that in JP, "Jump Kick" is a dropkick while "High Jump Kick" is a *knee* attack.
I feel like there's more interesting things you could do with a dropkick to differentiate it from that. Something more like First Impression or Focus Punch.

I would be perfectly happy with removing Recoil from Wild Charge and instead make it 95 Accuracy. Doesn't even need a secondary effect. Now Physical Electric have spamable STAB and don't need for GF to release Volt Tackle from Pickachu-Prison

Jump Kick should have been reworked to ignore Flying resistance, which would actually make it do Super Effective damage against Normal/Flying, Rock/Flying, Ice/Flying, Steel/Flying, and Dark/Flying Pokémon
