Is there something I'm missing?

Its a flying move with basically the same base damage as fly.

Its a two turn attack like fly.

The only main difference is it has a 30% chance of paralyzing the opponent.

Only two pokemon lines learn it, the Spoink line and the Ponyta line.

I'm pretty sure it doesn't have any special contest purpose.

Grumpig learns it at a fairly high level, not to mention his very low attack doesn't help it.

Both pokemon lines dont even get STAB.

Being so exclusive you would probably want to have it on a moveset -- well i would atleast.

Ponyta I cant really see having it, but the Pokemon of the Day Chick on IGN explained it with its pokedex entry saying it can leap over the eiffel tower.

Anyone? Please tell me its significance. I'm lost!!!!
