Zanzenburger 01/06/23 12:17:51 PM #33:	PowerOats posted... Is there a Ice Slash move? Like a 70 bp, high crit physical move I am of the opinion that Sandslash should have access to slashes in just about every type (kinda like the elemental punches). He already knows Slash and Night Slash. Give him Leaf Slash, Metal Slash, Aqua Slash, Ice Slash, Sand Slash, etc. I always thought that having a spiny pokemon literally named after a move should have more opportunities to capitalize on it. --- Congratulations!
