You are joking right? If a player wants to use Thunder instead of Thunderbolt, that should be their discretion. However, in an analysis we shouldn't be recommending an option for conditions that are not always favorable. I don't see Solarbeam mentioned on every Chlorophyll user despite it's superior power over Giga Drain / Grass Knot / Energy Ball. Furthermore, Thunder as the first or even second slash implies Magnezone is to be used on Rain teams, which is just so wrong. Mag doesn't care what weather you use it on and Rain just makes him take more to kill Ferrothorn.

108 Speed EVs is 182 Speed. Nothing sits at 181 so how is that NOT speed creep? Bulky SD Scizor and CB Scizor run no EVs and are slower than the 84 Speed required to beat Skarmory. That is the very definition of Speed creep.
