I fully agree with this.

I agree with this in terms of competitive coverage. Waterfall for example, might be appropriate, but is hardly competitive off of Mollux's attack stat. Anything weaker than Scald wouldn't be used anyway, so this basically is restricting Surf and Hydro Pump only.

Acid Spray as a competitive move:

Fully agree on this as well.

Physical Attacks:

Also agree. Even explosion is no worry from a strength standpoint on Mollux's attack. Shell Smash or the like might affect this, though, I suppose.
Also, I see no reason for Signal Beam not to be moved to Allowed. It is largely irrelevant on Mollux, with the only advantage gained being against Psychics. Reuniclus sets up in Mollux's face most likely, while Zam outspeeds and demolishes. Yes, that still leaves Starmie, but we're supposed to be beating non-Psychic/shock Starmie anyway. The only thing left really are the Latis and I don't know if that's enough to warrant barring Signal Beam.
