>>58966945I fully agree with
>>58966989 on this (Think this Anon and I have spoken quite a bit on the idea). Swapping Sceptile's attacking stats, though it would allow it to make better use of its physical movepool, would not really help it stand out in the long run.
>>58966989I still think Armor Tail could work, at least functionally. Making Sceptile immune to priority moves would be a big boon for it.
Funny enough, none of base Sceptile's Pokedex entries reference its tail or how it uses it. So there is flexibility there. Using a thick tail to attack or defend with, like Captain America's shield.
Sharpness 100% fits Sceptile better thematically, since nearly every Pokedex entry references its sharp arm blades. Sceptile would definitely need more moves though to make the most of it.
>Air Cutter and Air Slash, since it already gets Aerial Ace and Acrobatics>Secret Sword, although it is currently exclusive to Keldeo still. But like you said, they did distribute Sacred Sword down the line.>Tachyon Cutter, though it is also currently an exclusive move. Maybe the other Paradox Swords of Justice exclusive moves will be distributed down the line?>And of course a new Grass-type slicing move would be great.Besides Armor Tail and Sharpness, I still think a unique ability that allows physical moves to use the user's Special Attack stat would be great for Sceptile. Question is, what would be the best way to do it?
>Physical moves straight-up become special moves. Would lead to some very unique interactions, but would make it literally impossible to run mixed sets.>Physical moves use Special Attack stat for damage calcs, but would still hit like physical moves. Less unique/niche, but would allow for free mixed sets without needing to worry about Intimidate.Thoughts?
