It's time to update the blacklist once again.

Over the course of this update, I've concluded that the healthiest way to look at this update is not to focus on coverage for Ground-types. @Deck Knight's point of HP Ice + Surf countering all Ground-types is a good point, and it's worse for HP Ice + Grass-type coverage because Grass-type moves hits all the niche Water / Ground checks and counters (Gastrodon, Swampert, Quagsire). In addition, Surf is kinda crazy in general, and Energy Ball hits certain Ground-types supereffectively and the rest for neutral. It's hard to justify adding on this move when you could achieve neutral damage on these mons with Psychic, a move that Plasmanta already has. In short, these moves undermine what Plasmanta is, so I'm placing Surf, Grass Knot, and Energy Ball on the blacklist.

Aura Sphere or the weak Fire-type coverage in @sparktrain's post above provide a "cleaner" update for Plasmanta. I'd like to put up a poll in 48 hours, so let's get it going. I know you all like questions...

1. Does Incinerate / Flame Burst provide anything new over Aura Sphere?
