@PhantomUnderYourDesk and @Dragonstrike:
Thanks for the update, guys! I just edited the ARRG! Set to reflect this addition, and put Thunder Punch in Suggestions as per the realization that its great at taking out Water and Flying types as well!
As for my opinion on Leaf Blade, its as Dragonstrike says: its a nice middle of the Ground options for having more neutral coverage options against Hybrid Water and Ground without being being Walled by either type for packing Ice Punch, TP, and Knock Off respectively. In particular, Encartress and Evolite Regenerator Corsola suffers more from LB, and Brainroar/Electrux certainly don't appreciate being nailed with the move. It also pair well with Shadow Claw and a Scope Lens/Focus Energy from Luxelong, as it both moves have a 50%/100% chance of Criting , which combined with a SD can tear teams apart left to right if they don't resistant either move!
Dragon types and Flying types gives the captain more conniptions, however, so be ready to get shut down by them if you want to run both moves! Then again, you could always forgo Shadow Claw for Ice Punch, since with Ice Punch and TP/LB, you would be able to hit all the relevant types you want while only sacrificing a STAB move that not much Pokémon in the Meta are SE against. Decisions, decisions...
