Scyther is really fast and can set up substitute with ease. Scyther can repeatily use substitute and can use its Liechi berry. Together with swarm It can KO lots of weaker pokemon. If a pokemon usesa nonattacking move or doesn't break the sub, next turn, scyther can a sword dance and boosts it's power by two stages! X-Scissor can be used as a STAB and can work with swarm. quick attack is a priority move.
 
without reversal its not getting by registeel anyway and it basically has all the problems of regular sd scyther except this one is more vulnerable to priority. subreversal is pretty meh to me, scyther is so frail that you have to be lucky with the switch out, and unfortunately this set doesn't even have reversal.

logs of it fully working and outperforming standard sd scyther or cb scyther is always appreciated for sets like this where it doesn't seem to be too good in theory.
 
i don't see any advantages this has over the standard sd set hell it doesn't have reversal... and the writing is not the best.

rejection 1/2
 
You can use Technician and Bug Bite instead of Swarm and X-scissor. Technician also powers up Quick Attack.
I am pretty doubtful about having Sword Dance and Liechi on the same set.
 
Yeah, no. This is not the generation for Pinch berry sweepers, too much priority. Also this doesn't even get good coverage. Extremely difficult to setup, easily walled... [Insert Grimer Stamp]
