Slugger Genesect
I have been questioning if the Techno Blast attack should have an additional stimulation to it. I don't necessarily feel that the card or attack was OP. True to the original game, it's a Normal-type attack, that doesn't really do anything for itself, but relies on the Drive Item (Ability) for utility. So just a powerful Normal-type attack. However, since it's supposed to be Genesect's Signature Move, it's very feel bad to not give it some flare that makes it stand out as special.
This stimulation now provides that flare—with the ability for expansionism in other forms; which previous versions of this attack in the TCG lack, but certainly would be important for future designs which won't have the same ability. This stimulation offers those attacks the utility of power distribution, having this stimulation built-in for self-sufficiency, to counter-balance the power distribution. In plain terms, they can freely be assigned as simple powerful attacks, without having to jump through any other loops (while giving the attack some special flare).
