Which is everything that's not psychic, steel, or dark.  60 power (90 after STAB) is a lot for a priority move with no drawbacks, too.  Only stronger ones are Sucker Punch (80 power, 70 starting in Gen 7, foe has to attack), Extreme Speed (80 power, +2 priority, very, very limited distribution), and Flame Impact boosted by Inflagetah's Acceleration (55 power, 1.5x boost from Acceleration, another 1.5x from STAB, +2 priority...ew.  Just...ew.)

I guess another way to put it is Instant Crush is as powerful as a Technician Bullet/Mach Punch from Scizor/Breloom.  Fun.

Don't know which is worse between that and those Inflagetah alcs. Probably Inflagetah just because its the better mon.

I always seem to forget that flinch chance, tbh.  The move description and wiki both neglect to mention it.
