Scizor Movesets

[Rashdan]

I currently don't have a Scizor, but I want to know its effectiveness, for those who have experience with it.

Scizor @ Leftovers (any good item suggestions?)
Nature: ?
Swords Dance
Baton Pass/Steel Wing
Agility
Aerial Ace/Metal Claw/Return

Which of these combinations work well for the Battle frontier, or for Competitive/Link up battles? I don't know if it would be so good for the Elite Four, but what's your opinion?

 

[aragornbird]

Why wouldn’t it be good for the Elite 4? The Elite 4 is so easy to beat. Use your Swords Dance/Agility/Baton Pass along with Silver Wind. Adamant Nature.

 

[Rashdan]

Oh, I didn't know. I'll definitely give it a try. Thanks.

This is a good one for Scizor, is the one I use anyways.

Scizor @Liechi Berry

Agility
Endure
Reversal
HP Ghost

First agility to make sure u attack first, then Reversal, later on you can use Endure to make sure you´re ok and HP ghost to finish it

 

[Rashdan]

Wouldn't Reversal be best saved for when you're at a lower health? Or is it strong enough to do high damage?

 

[LexSuicune]

That´s what you have endure for-.

 

[Rashdan]

I see. Alright then. I'll experiment between the two.

Swords Dance / Steel Wing work better ingame than HP [Ghost].

Scizor@Liechi Berry
Adamant Nature
- Agility
- Endure
- Reversal
- Swords Dance / Steel Wing

Best used in the BF where you can get your berry back.

SCIZOR @ Leftovers/Lum Berry
Swarm

- Silver Wind
- Return
- HP Ground/Ghost
- Swords Dance

 

[Frost Nova]

No. Just no. Return sucks without STAB. Honestly if Scizor got better physical moves, he'd be so usable.

 

[LexSuicune]

Yeah well I guess Steel wing could do the trick...that´s my set up anyways.
