other of my original sets hahah i'm cool thought, maybe the best set of Scyther, guys.
Scyther (F) @ Eviolite
Trait: Technician
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- U-turn
- Aerial Ace
- Swords Dance
- Roost / Brick Break
Category: Standard moveset with a twist / Underrated moveset.
What's different about the set: Scyther is always used Choiced Scarf/ Band or Sword Dance bulky or more offensive oriented. This set seems Choice because U-turn (Scarf often since have similar atk). Work well how both sets mixed.
Why it works: This set is smart and can work very well in different times in the battles, in the beginning you can scout with U-turn and to take momentum in the battle while that in the late game this is a bulky sweeper with Sword Dance and Roost, when is appropiate this thing can use Sword Dance and sweep. U-turn is the most important move in the set and make this unpredictable, Aerial Ace is the second STAB and the best move to sweep along with Sword Dance, this move is the move to sweep. In the last slot, Roost since is a bulky Scyther and this move is very useful with the weakness of Scyther to Stealth Rock. Also, Brick Break is a good option too, if you can hit Rock and Steel types.
Positives/Negatives: The best part of this set is the unpredictable that is great. U-turn and Soft sweeper. Good teammates for this set are Magneton can kill steel types and work well with Volt Switch. Natu, is also a good partner, pseudo spinner and again spam U-turn. Moltres Specs pretty good with Scyther. Usually, spinner/natu and spam volt switch/u-turn are the best temmates because the big problem of Scyther is the big weakness to Stealth Rock.
