Why does Wild Charge have recoil?

Why doesn't every physical move have recoil?

>>30944796
an obscure Japanese reason that you can't possibly comprehend

>>30944796
Because bullying Masuda's special snowflake type has to have a drawback.

They recklessly charge into their opponent. Think about it

Why does Submission have recoil?

>>30945328
Then why does it have such shit power as far as recoil moves go?

>>30946343
Because Volt Tackle is Pikachu exclusive

>>30946370
Thats stupid though. All physical electric types shouldn't be gimped just because of pikachu.

>>30946343
It has recoil appropriate to other recoil moves of the same power

As a Water fag I found this hilarious and went to go look up Wild Charge's BP expecting it to be the same as Flare Blitz's BP and was bewildered when it wasn't. The BP for Wild Charge is only 90 while the BP for Flare Blitz is 120 on top of having a 10% chance to burn the target. Well at least Wild Charge does less damage to the user than Flare Blitz?!

Anyone else ever notice Wild Charge is just a moderately better version of Take-Down?

Please understand.

>>30946558
it's also a shittier version of Volt Tackle

Th-thanks Pikachu

>PHYSICAL ELECTRIC TYPES ARE GIMPED BECAUSE OF FUCKING PIKACHU

Can we all agree that the anime was the worst thing to ever happen to pokemon?

Anime was a mistake.

You can blame Volt Tackle for that, and the rat doesn't even need to be bred with a Light Ball for it anymore.

It's like GF hates physical electric types.
