It's still a more spammable move overall than Wild Charge though. 100 BP is solid and while you run a risk of severely damaging yourself meaning you have to play more carefully at times, you also less consistently hurt yourself in spamming the move which is why Wild Charge was so underwhelming: not strong enough while consistently wearing yourself down each use sucked.

There's some risk to Supercell Slam but for the most part it can be clicked without wearing the user down repeatedly while also delivering respectable power. It's definitely an up and improvement. Ideally a full on Volt Tackle akin to Flare Blitz, Wood Hammer, or Wave Crash would be even better, but this is still something after all these years.
Tbh Wild Charge is massively over-hated, it's perfectly fine for the damage range it's at, the recoil isn't even as bad as stronger recoil moves. Supercell is also not really anymore spammable as it's own drawback make it a sidegrade in the best case scenario and a severe downgrade at the worst.

People are so desperate for generic physical Electric moves nowadays they're lose it over something marginally worse than the existing best option on average just because it's BP is a tad higher. Y'all need to stop snuffing Wild Charge it's not the worst thing on planet earth.

Reading some posts about “syrpents”, it’s possible that’s just a spelling error but it could also be a loose reference to something called a syrupent, some kind of green snake piñata or something. Idk I just Googled this like two minutes ago

Edit: Never mind, it’s not actually a real thing

it uses the syrupy apple to evolve from applin to dipllin, take a guess

Wild Charge does suck tbh. 10 BP might not sound like a lot but that’s the difference bwteen tanking an unsharpness Psycho Cut vs a Zen Headbutt. There’s a reason everybody exclusively runs Zen Headbutt even with the lower accuracy. I’m not saying Supercell is incredible but it’s definitely at least a little bit better than Wild Charge

i am in seeious awe of gouging fire. absolute unit. A+. contender for best paradox overall.

i guess i shouldn't be surprised at new moves debuting as TMs when SS IoA did it too, but most of them don't feel like... huge additions
I actually think most of them are pretty solid additions, just nice new moves for a good amount of situations. Like Alluring Voice is just a pretty good move, and Psychic Voice is niche and generally solid

Zen Headbutt doesn't kill you if you attack a Dark-type.

People still run Jump Kick and High Jump Kick even with that drawback. It’s just a move that can be used with more leeway compared to Wild Charge but you have to predict a bit reliably, especially when the Pokemon using it almost always have Ground coverage (Electivire Ice Punch, Luxray Ice Fang)

Supercell Slam is going to be inconsistent(having a miss chance is not good when you want to guarantee a win) in singles even moreso with the dominance of ground types, and an even bigger risk in doubles where everyone has protect. I'm with Zetalz on this one, Wild Charge is on average better.

Geeta gets better Pokemon
So Geeta was holding back against us the first time around.

She has a pseudo, a starter, and saves Kingambit for last revealing it was in fact her true ace.

After all that it turns out we're finally gonna see her true power and that she truly is as fearsome as her employees claim her to be.
