But I do not understand Pokémon. Sceptile's special attack is larger than its attack, but it doesn't learn a special grass attack that isn't Absorb or Mega Drain for the ENTIRE GAME until Leaf Storm in the high-60s if the move progression is the same as it was in the last game. Mega Sceptile becomes a Grass/Dragon, both of which resist electric attacks. But its ability changes to Lightning Rod, because it's so vulnerable to lightning and people are going to use it on a Grass/Dragon I guess?

I love Pokémon but design decisions baffle me.
