So…it has a water attack, but the “super effective” effect got stapled onto its fighting type attack? That doesn’t make much sense to me at all. The water attack should be something that beats fire types, and the fighting type attack should be the three energy stage 2 punisher.

The attack “Beatdown” re-appears as a vanilla move in Gen 5 (most recently on SS Urshifu 𝙑𝙈𝘼𝙓).
But this version, like Light Machamp’s, had a creative extra effect!
