Hey Tony! Considering that Gen 1 didn't have item descriptions or anything, it's pretty amazing to look back and realize I had no idea what "Dire Hit" or "Guard Spec." did. I don't even know what "Guard Spec" is meant to reference. Guard Species? Guard Special? Guard Spectators so that Dragonite's Hyper Beam doesn't take out the elder care facility next door?

Knowing Gen 1 mechanics, it probably just doubles the efficacy of Tail Whip.

Thanks for the shoutout! Duh duh duhhhhhhgs is dead
