        Granted the name of the move itself could use a different word, I think they meant beam as in Hyper Beam, since the move itself is a special attack rather than physical.

          But a beam of steel doesn’t make any sense unless it’s an actual long piece of steel launched at high speed towards an unwitting target. It’s not like a beam of light.

            🤷‍♂️ idk. Might as well call it Eye Beam but make it a pun and say I-beam instead lol.
