>>59021880I’ll grant you leaf storm and draco, they do seem to slot neatly into the formula of
>130bp>90acc>spread>harsh spatk recoilBut 120s with drops are common too
>superpower>close combat>headlong rush>make it rainIt’s the same argument. In fact if you want to look at the moves Boomburst is MOST like
>100 acc>hits everything on the field including alliesIt belongs in the same class as surf, discharge, earthquake, or sludge wave
All of which have significantly lower BP. Because of course, those moves can hit for SE damage, doubling their power. Boomburst never can. Normal type is its drawback. Normal type is the cap on it. It needs the extra 50-ish BP to compensate for its inherently bad typing. Which is why giving it to a mon does not make that mon crazy dangerous.
Fuck sake, this is the generation where ANY mon that has boomburst can get normal STAB with tera. Noivern couldn’t make it work. Toxtricity couldn’t make it work and it gets a BONUS 30% on top of that thanks to Punk Rock. Rotom isn’t going straight to suspect testing with STAB normal boomburst, be real
