No, stab. Energy ball actually has eighty so eighty plus stab is 120 and technican adds 50 more base power to moves and after that it's only ten less power so mega drain is the better choice for a setup one which I use(setup as in both types of spikes) EDIT:technican acts before stab so base power is brought to 90 and 90 divided by 2=45 and 90+45=135 so it's more power. Offensive or not, mega drain>energy ball.
