How is Mud Slap + Earthquake rated A while Mud Shot + Earthquake being rated C when attacking? The explanation says that Mud Shot is on par with Mud Slap and both moves are outclassed by Rhydon.
Shouldn't both moveset be ranked B? A is just too unbelievable, and C is far too underrated.

Without solid number crunching.
The rough numbers look like they should be same rank. Or with the new "Minuses" at most that different
Mudslap is 14% more DPS
Mudshot is 36% more Energy
For comparison sake on Machamp Counter(A) Karate Chop (A-) though I have seen parse sites that say KC/DP does more DPS than Counter/DPS.
Counter 33% More Damage
KC 40% more energy
((Keep in Mind DP is far more energy efficient than anything than Golem has to use, BUT 40 energy vs33 dps is a way smaller gap than 36 energy vs 14 damage))
Or Look at Dragonite where DT and DB have same rating yet
DT does 11% More Damage
DT does 2% more energy
So DT is better at both functions than DB but yet DB maintains equal rating for the Dodge All Crowd
