Do you all think there should be a Defense type of assault vest, or a special type of initmidate?

It would be interesting to see the impact on competitive Pokemon. Honestly, either one could allow for some pretty iron clad walls, as you could run Intimidate + physical AV (or vice versa) and end up with some excellent switch-ins to key offensive threats. Landorus-T's counterplay to the VoltTurn strategy would reach nosebleed heights. I think that it would be cool to see the specially-based Intimidate on something like Cradily (not sure if this is included in current gen? I think no?). It is already pretty impressive in the Sand in lower tiers, and this would make it one of the best switch-ins to special moves in its respective tier with the Sand up.
