Well, Scizor is actually really annoying for Magnezone to trap as it can't come in Superpower (like Keldeo and Heatran) and U-Turn (which Celebii gives strong reason for Scizor to spam) dodges the trap while scouting and dealing damage. ChoiceZone also risks the chance of letting Lando get easy set up on a Electric move or HP Fire while SubCharge is pretty useless in general. (it's only niche is if the other team is silly enough to give it something it can set up on super easy)

Yes, a defensive mon can counter both of their choices but so can some offensive mons as well. If we have a offensive mon we can choose I would much rather opt for him than a defensive one for the reasons I listed.

(No problem. In retrospect, I should have added a ":P" to tone down the unintended seriousness behind that comment.)
