Scizor @ Occa Berry
Ability: Technician
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Bullet Punch
- Bug Bite
- Superpower

Scizor is a classic OU powerhouse! Due to its powerful, Technician-boosted Bullet Punch, Scizor is capable of sweeping through teams and overpowering common foes like Tyranitar and Breloom. Bug Bite is Scizor's strongest Bug attack, hitting foes like Swampert, Metagross, and Jirachi quite hard after a Swords Dance boost. Superpower provides important coverage for Steel-types like Empoleon and Magnezone. Occa Berry allows Scizor to flip the script on would-be revenge killers like Jirachi and Magnezone that attempt to take it out with Fire-type coverage, tanking the super effective hit and hitting back hard with the appropriate attack. Scizor benefits greatly from Stealth Rock support from suicide leads like Metagross, Bronzong, and Azelf, as they cause important chip on Zapdos. Other sweepers like Dragon Dance Gyarados and Tyranitar and offensive Calm Mind Suicune appreciate Scizor weakening or outright KOing defensive foes like Skarmory and Zapdos while also breaking teams open for an eventual Scizor sweep. Pairing Scizor with Lucario or Dragonite results in a powerful priority-spam core that can sweep through teams without ever letting the opponent move first.

Scizor is a classic OU powerhouse! Due to its powerful, Technician-boosted Bullet Punch, Scizor is capable of sweeping through teams, powering through common foes like Tyranitar and Breloom. Bug Bite is Scizor's strongest Bug STAB option, taking out defensive foes like Celebi and offensive threats like Latias alike BB is used for power more than coverage and targets stuff like swampert metagross hippo jirachi etc... Superpower provides important coverage for Steel-types like Empoleon and Magnezone. Occa Berry allows Scizor to flip the script on revenge killers like Celebi and Magnezone not celebi its mainly Jirachi that has been holding this set back for years, needs to be mentioned and highlighted magnezone is like ok but its rly jirachi that makes it worth using that attempt to take it out with Fire-type coverage, tanking the super effective hit and hitting back hard with the appropriate attack. Scizor benefits greatly from Stealth Rock support from suicide leads like Metagross, Bronzong, and Azelf, importantly breaking Skarmory's Sturdy (sturdy is useless in DPP) and chipping Zapdos. Other sweepers like Dragon Dance Gyarados, Dragon Dance Tyranitar, and offensive Calm Mind Suicune appreciate Scizor weakening or outright KOing defensive foes like Skarmory and Zapdos while also breaking teams open for an eventual Scizor sweep. Pairing Scizor with Lucario or Dragonite results in a powerful priority-spam core that can sweep through teams without ever letting the opponent move first.
