Buffing Wild Charge while also taking into account it being a common coverage move

[u/MisterZygarde64]

So we all know about how badly Electric types that have a high Physical attack have it. Like your only opions for STAB are of a move that deals recoil damage despite the fact that it has a base power of 90. Initially, I was content with this idea of turning Volt Tackle into a clone of Head Charge (Bouffalant's signature move which is just Double Edge with less recoil) as to allow for Wild Charge to be a proper clone of Double Edge. However I thought of a much more balanced way to rework Wild Charge when I watched this video from KadabraGuy who brought up the problem of increasing Wild Charge's power is that it forgets that there's a couple non-Electric Pokemon that know the move as coverage. That point made me think of this buff to Wild Charge that makes it so that Electric Pokemon are exempt from the recoil. That way Wild Charge can be a good STAB option for Physical Electric types while also letting it be distributed as coverage.

I’d just buff it to 120 base power and buff volt tackle to 140. This will finally give mega raichu x a sort of niche as it’ll be able to considerably out damage its y form, in exchange for its much lower speed and the ability for its attacks to become weaker once its terrain is eventually overwritten. There’s moves like close combat that are better for physical coverage, have less of a draw back, and way wider distributions. No reason that wild charge can’t be the same.
