I don't have the part where special effects are defined.
For comparison here is Air Slash.

Oh, I guess I was wrong, that doesn't make sense if its a physical move anyway. Maybe it's the 07 byte instead? If not then I have no more guesses.

Nothing in the game learns Spore. We have Sleep Powder though.
"I think I would rather run Sucker Punch on Raffiti instead of Espeed since STAB and all. And while the Shell Smash Expunge set may not be as game breakingly broken as say, Nucleon, there is no denying it's power. But it isn't just that set alone that makes Raffiti broken, it's the sheer versatility that comes with being to learn literally every move that makes it broken. How does one come up with an answer for something that can potentially be anything? It's impossible to do so, or not at least until one has figured out what the opposing Raffiti is running. And by the time that has happened, chances are, one of your mons are dead, or it has spread hazards throughout your side of the field, or maybe it just Baton Passed a bunch of boosts onto a M-Syrentide or a Contrary Chimaconda. Either way, it is nearly to deal with Raffiti before Raffiti has fulfilled it's purpose due to its verstility, which in my opinion is why it is broken, not due to the power of the individual Shell Smash set (although that is where a large fraction of Raffiti's power comes from)."
I won't say you're wrong, but neither can I say you're right. In the real metagame, we have smeargle, who can do all that and remains in the lower tiers once baton passing got nerved. Same with Mew, though it's a bit better. They both have sets ad infinatum, but both are dealable. The real question is this: Raffiti has better stats than Smeargle, will that make more of a difference than in the ORAS meta?
