Hi everyone! It's been a while since I frequented the forums, and I need your help. Or, more accurately, my youngest brother does.
The situation is thus: my younger brothers are playing through HGSS and after every gym they battle. My youngest brother wants to bring a little sauce to the party, and wants a Scizor. He asked me what the best setup would be, and I realised I've completely forgotten the intricacies of breeding mechanics. What I think is possible:
Level 1 Scizor with Technician, with Bullet Punch, Brick Break, Night Slash, Aerial Ace.
Keep in mind as I outlay my theoretical procedure that he's limited to before Chuck:
1) Catch a Heracross - breed it with Ditto until until you get a Male with Night Slash (online says it learns it at level 1).
2) Train Heracross to level 19, making sure it learns Brick Break and Aerial Ace.
3) Breed the Heracross with a Scyther until the Scyther has Technician and the Night Slash, Brick Break and Aerial Ace (as these moves are TM's, they'll be passed down right?)
4) Evolve level 1 Scyther into Scizor, thus making it learn Bullet Punch.
Okay, are there any flaws in this procedure? If so, what's the closest you can get on a single cartridge before Chuck? Thanks for your help, I'm unable to test this myself (I gave him my cart) and he has limited play time, even during a global pandemic!
