The typical EVs for Skarmory are 252 HP/252 DEF or 224 HP/ 252 DEF/ 32 SPD so more than likely you're going to outspeed Skarm.Swords Dance on the predicted Roost? Or Earthquake on the Predicted roost, if you're slower than Skarmory.
Anyway, I use mandibuzz as a good check to pinsir in case skarm bites the bullet. She can deal major damage with foul play, and that obese bird doesn't mind switching in on the turn that Zard X is Dragon Dancing, and she laughs at Talonflame. In short, Mandibuzz is a pretty amazing pokemon. That darned Stealth Rock weakness is a bit of a setback though.
