Okay, yes, but there are advantages to using Grumpex that aren't being mentioned here.

1. Grumpex may have less powerful moves, but he also has tortures. Lots of tortures. And these tortures usually come in twos, meaning, with the exception of monsters with Torture Immunity (and Artifacts, all of which are mechanical), his damage is greatly bolstered by those.

2. Grumpex has access to a nice move with NER, Precision, and an exta turn. Combine this with Skill Mirror, and he ends up with just as many extra turns as Burotgor, and without Blinding himself on one of them. The NER means that Tortures won't be too bad for those Extra Turns, too, and he can use those turns to do that Torture spreading previously mentioned.

3. "Unless he faces a mechanical monster" makes that trait (which is actually not an SC, btw) sound overly situational. However, just as you always say for Rez Block, there are quite a few monsters people constantly use that fit in this category. The big hitter here is Santerion, but for other monsters in tiers around him and the viable tiers, he's also effective at wiping out Ingenica, Nitroblaster, Hornet, Stake, and Clipeum, just to name a couple.

4. Small one that doesn't affect the argument too much, but I'd also like to mention that his Trait is literally just a better version of Burotgor's, and, as you mention, he's better in literally every stat, and by a decent margin, too.
