as noted by on site analyses, an SD+3 scizor is generally best suited for an offensive spread and item, so PDC's recommendation of LO sounds on spot. mixed spread between speed and HP, with ofc adamant max attack, is probably your best bet. if you want a bulkier booster you're better off going roost over superpower and investing significantly in special bulk~bullet punch

I'd rather risk getting infracted right now than accidentally helping a poor guy with his Darmanitan-Z openly. This question is serious!-No Darmanitan-Z. Anywhere, any time, any reason. NO.
It is extremely stupid to ever use this Pokemon with Zen Mode and it is completely impractical. I remember somebody made a thread about it and it was really stupid, it is unviable and is a very stupid ability which has basically no reliable uses.I can say for double battles that the Magic Bounce user does protect the mon next to it. You just have to be vary that Magic Bounce only works once a turn - any consecutive status move will slip through.
I don't know if it protects the mon on the other side of the field in triples, though.
Edit: Magic Bounce work on entry hazards in triples from any position, but we are not sure about singe-target moves yet.
And since I'm already here, may I ask how serious I should take this rule?

Bulbapedia Name Origin: Genesect may be a combination of gene, genetics, genome, or genesis, and insect.Ok, quick question that I hadn't even thought might be an issue until the other day: is Genesect pronounced "JEAN-sect" or "GEN-esect?" I've always said the latter but I wasn't sure.
Mmwawkay.Boosted water moves. The only Steel-type that I can think of that resists Water is Ferrothorn, and some prominent Rain sweepers carry either neutral STAB (Hurricane) or super-effective coverage (Secret Sword, Focus Blast, Superpower). But outside of Ferrothorn, boosted Water does stupid amounts of damage.
It depends on the team, really:is having two cb pokemon on the same team redundant?
Two different CB Pokemon can play 2 different functions on the same team. For example, on the team I'm currently using, I have both a CB Terrakion and CB Genesect. CB Terrakion often lures in Psychic types like Lati@s/Celebi/etc where a simple double switch into Genesect can threaten those out. The incoming switch is then forced to take a +1 Choice Band U-turn, which definitely is not fun (Fact: +1 CB U-turn 2HKOs Landorus). The Choice Band on Genesect increases the pressure on your opponent's team through massive damage output while a simple Scarf U-turn won't be doing as much, and therefore pressures less. The above user is correct, though: prediction is key. Being Choice locked means you pretty much have to use the right move to hit the correct switch-in or you lose momentum. I digress: this is why I like CB Genesect (and Scizor). There is nothing wrong with mis-predicting something with U-turn since you can just go into the appropriate check/counter. Anyway, going by the definition of redundant--sometimes 2 CB Pokemon can be needed without being excessive. Removing a CB Pokemon may decrease the effectiveness of a team that provides 2. It definitely is team-dependent though. And I would also agree that they should be slightly different in coverage for two reasons:Google (lol) said:re·dun·dant/riˈdəndənt/
