how is "much like substitute" an argument that acid spray is an attacking move?

just because it is offensive, doesn't mean it's an attacking move, look at Rapid Spin.

the only reason Acid Spray would be used is for the Special Defense drop, since Sludge Wave is more than twice as powerful of an attacking move. If the main reason a move is used is NOT to do damage, it is NOT an attacking move. therefore, it shouldn't be mentioned as of yet.

"As I said in the OP, Acid Spray is not great at generating its own 2HKOs, but it supports every other attack on the set,[...]"
exactly, it SUPPORTS every other attack, it's a SUPPORTING move, not an attacking one.
