Maybe get rid of the base power buff; I think the fact that it lowers Special Defense by 2 stages is already good enough.

Well. It's 40BP now. I was thinking 55, since the added effect is guaranteed. The point of it would be to shift the focus of the meta slightly off Steel-types, since they can't do a thing about it, while reintroducing Poison as a viable option, and encouraging Rock- and Ghost-types to return to the upper tiers.

However, since it'd only be 55 BP, it wouldn't stand out as well as say... Freeze-Dry, which hits for 70BP, and SE on over 1/3 Pokemon (SE on Water, Flyin...

(for reference, Ice already hit 1/3, while Poison hits 97; this would add only 39, I think)
