Scyther/Scizor Moveset

Not open for further replies.
For Scizor, it's possible to complete GSC entirely by itself with no level grinding with Shadow Ball and some Steel move. Simple.
 
We have a Simple Questions thread in this forum for things that aren't teams....

...it would also be helpful if, you know, you told us what you are looking for in a Scizor considering that Pokemon like this have many sets that can be tailored for your needs

Scizor @Life Orb
Adamant Nature
EVs:32 HP/ 252 Atk/ 224 Spe
Trait: Technician

-Swords Dance
-Bullet Punch
-Brick Break
-Roost/X-Scissor

Basically, bullet punch becomes the strongest 100% accurate speed prioritizing move in the game, making it a lethal killer. Brick Break allows you to hit the likes of Heatran and Metagross, while X-Scissor is another STAB, though Roost is useful for longevity.

EDIT: Simple questions has been renamed for all the people who couldn't find it ):

Thing is, that set is heavily countered due to the popularity of Gyarados, Heatran, and Zapdos, who are always wanting to switch in on the Swords Dance and threaten/set up. It seems like CBScizor with U-Turn is the best set to use right now, since you can easily U-Turn out of a predicted Zappy/Gyara/Tran switch into your counter:

Scizor@Choice Band
Adamant
Technician
12 HP/252 Atk/244 Spd
- Bullet Punch
- Superpower
- Pursuit
- U-Turn

Pretty simple; 244 Spd EVs reaches 227 Spd, one point above base 95s like Uxie and Gliscor.
 
No one ever uses it, no matter how many times anyone says that we have one. Seriously, threads like this should just be locked.
 
I second Mukubird's idea, though something tells me this is yet another ingame set like your team suggestion thread and you have conveniently left that information out.
