it's literally just a tackle while electrifying yourself. Why wouldn't any physical electric type be able to learn this? Just use Thunder Punch with more body

What's a "physical electric type"?
>>
>>59653292
we don't deserve good electric physical attackers for some reason
>>
>>59654415
What, are you not satisfied with the highest power non-signature no drawbacks physical electric move being 75bp?
>>
op, the fool that he is, forgot that wild charge exists
>>

You got a problem with Supercell Slam?
>>
>>59654694
More like Supercell opponent switch’s in a ground type or other Electric immune mon or you randomly miss because it has fuck you 95% accuracy for some reason then Slam yourself into the wall and lose all your health
>>
>>59654685
what makes Wild Charge caninically different from Volt Tackle? The amount if electricity used?
>>
>>59653292
Because it's a move specifically for Pikachu's line, not due to an in-game reason, but a real life reason.
Game Freak made a game called Pulseman for the Mega Drive (fuck you, only burgerland calls it the genesis, I am NOT calling it that) and one of Pulseman's attacks in that game was called "Volteccer", Volt Tackle's Japanese game. Pikachu gained the move because he's the mascot of Pokemon in the same way Pulseman is the face of his series.
>>
>>59653292
Because all electric types must not surpass the Pikachu ceiling
>>
>>59655764
Pulseman looks a lot like ledian
>>
Volt Tackle was made in Gen 3 where it was still a special attack, devs likely were not thinking that far ahead when giving the Pika line a signature move that isn't just a Thunderbolt/Thunder variant
>>
Volt Tackle - 150 BP
Wild Charge - 120 BP
is that easy

Revert the phys/spec split
is that easy
>>
>>59656850
why do people like every type being locked to either physical or special?
>>
>>59657806
Because it forces you to actually think and engage with more of the mechanics instead of
>hurr pokemon attack stat higher therefore me use physical attacks
>>
>>59655413
it being learned by more canines than volt tackle
