The death ray isn't necessarily a Special stat though. The whole idea of the teleforce is basically a charged particle rail gun. It accelerates physical particles of metal up to astonishingly high speeds for attacks. Sounds physical enough for me, being peppered with metal. I think it's a much more fun challenge to try to make a new Pokemon competitive with a difference than to just do what has always been done. After all, not every Pokemon falls into the OU tier. By definition some Pokemon have to be a bit not-as-good. I'm not saying to deliberately make Tescilator bad, but if it ends up a bit less desirable than fully honed Tyranitar then big deal. I give for example of my thinking, Togekiss. Powerful Special Attacker. However, with the Hustle ability, Life Orb/Choice Band and plenty of EVs it becomes a very viable physical beast. Despite being entirely Special Attack focused. That's my thinking, that with a varied moveset and EVs, as well as potentially an ability for those of you who remain doubtful, Tescilator can become a physical powerhouse DESPITE being a Special Attacker.

And Fox of War is right, we don't need just another Ground monster with Earthquake as their big finish. If he has lower Attack Stats that can be reason to include Earthquake at a lower level in the moveset perhaps. Add in a stat boosting move (Adrenaline/Madness/Whetstone/Nasty Plot/Swords Dance/Overclock/Sharpener) and you've still got a monster attacker. The Attack doesn't have to be godawful, since I don't imagine either of them having that much in the way of defense, but I really do think that the idea of it being a Special attacker and bucking convention is a positive for it.

The issue with Flareon isn't its 'wrong stat'. It's the fact that it has a shallow movepool, with moves not focused towards that stat. Keep in mind that an Electric/Ground Oscilator wouldn't just have access to special-type Ground moves, it also has access to Special-type Electric moves to claim STAB on, and that's an area it can absolutely excel in. Combine it with a Special Ground finisher someone can make up (much as I made up Teleforce to cover the lack of high end Physical Electric attacks) and well thought out move-set options and there's no reason whatsoever for it to be a bad pokemon. 

I feel that giving it Earthquake is a sensible move at a lower level if it has poor-to-moderate ATK. Also, just as part of my musing:
