This is probably the one battle that has secured Mega Scizor a spot on my Showdown bro list. He pretty much single handedly won this battle for me, turning an otherwise mediocre performance by me into a victory.
michaeloche's team: Scizor / Rotom-Wash / Starmie / Ferrothorn / Hawlucha / Meowstic
qwertyhbvd's team: Florges / Tentacruel / Kangaskhan / Landorus-Therian / Slowbro / Virizion
Battle between michaeloche and qwertyhbvd started!
Go! Ferrothorn!
qwertyhbvd sent out Landorus-Therian!
The foe's Landorus-Therian intimidates Ferrothorn!
Ferrothorn's Attack fell!
Ferrothorn was my lead, due to his ability to use rocks and seeds, both beneficial to my team. I know he can take EQs from Lando-T all day, so his lead didn't bother me much.
Turn 1:
The foe's Landorus-Therian used Stealth Rock!
Pointed stones float in the air around your team!
Ferrothorn used Stealth Rock!
Pointed stones float in the air around the foe's team!
Yeah, that went as expected. I figured he would likely U-turn out, but I wasn't sure what he would bring in at the time. So I seeded and hoped for the best.
Turn 2:
The foe's Landorus-Therian used U-turn!
Ferrothorn lost 14.2% of its health!
The foe's Landorus-Therian is hurt by Ferrothorn's Iron Barbs!

Ferrothorn is hurt by the foe's Tentacruel's Liquid Ooze!
Ferrothorn (80%, -1 Atk)==Tentacruel (82%, seeded)<>Lando-T (88%)
I was not expecting his Tentacruel to have Liquid Ooze. I guess I had been playing BW rain too long and assumed it had Rain Dish. Luckily, I was sure he would spin, so I attacked.
Turn 3:
The foe's Tentacruel used Rapid Spin!
It's not very effective... Ferrothorn lost 0.9% of its health!

The foe's Tentacruel restored HP using its Black Sludge!
Ferrothorn restored HP using its Leftovers!
Ferrothorn (85%, -1 Atk)==Tentacruel (44%)
With Tentacruel's job done, I noticed the potential for a Virizion switch, so I aimed for my physical attacker check: Rotom-W. With Will-o-Wisp, I assumed it would cripple Virizion and make my life easier.
Turn 4:
qwertyhbvd withdrew Tentacruel!

Rotom-W (99%)==Virizion (82%, sub)
I was not expecting that Substitute. With the sub up, that ruled out Pain Split as well, so I VSed out, but not before eating a CC.
Turn 6:
The foe's Virizion used Close Combat!
Rotom-Wash lost 50.5% of its health!
The foe's Virizion's Defense fell!
The foe's Virizion's Special Defense fell!

Go! Meowstic!
Pointed stones dug into Meowstic!
The foe's Virizion restored HP using its Leftovers!
Rotom-W (99%)<>Meowstic (88%)==Virizion (88%, sub, -1 Def, -1 SpD)
Meowstic is a Prankster dual screener, so he can take whatever Virizion can throw at him. After that, I aim to break that sub.
Turn 7:

Reflect raised your team's Defense!

The foe's Florges used Aromatherapy!
A soothing aroma wafted through the area!

Not much Meowstic can do here. Time for my ace in the hole.
Turn 13:
Meowstic, come back!
Go! Scizor!
Pointed stones dug into Scizor!
The foe's Florges used Wish!
Meowstic (28%)<>Scizor (88%)==Florges (100%)
Not really sure what he was trying to heal, especially with his next move. I mega evolve Scizor here, but derp and think Florges is Grass type. Not that it mattered much.
Turn 14:

qwertyhbvd sent out Landorus-Therian!
The foe's Landorus-Therian intimidates Scizor!

Scizor used Bug Bite!
It's not very effective... The foe's Landorus-Therian lost 16.6% of its health!
Florges's wish came true!
Your team's Reflect wore off!
Scizor (mega, 88%, -1 Atk)==Landorus-T (100%)<>Florges (100%)
And now Reflect is gone. Scizor is not gonna beat Lando-T at -1, so it's time to pivot.
Turn 15:
Scizor, come back!

Scizor (mega)<>Ferrothorn (70%)==Virizion (100%)<>Landorus-T (88%)
Well, here we go again. In retrospect, I probably should have gone for Gyro Ball here, but I wasn't sure how Ferro would take the CC. At least I got rocks back up.
Turn 16:
The foe's Virizion used Close Combat!
It's super effective! Ferrothorn lost 61.9% of its health!

Ferrothorn (fainted)<>Hawlucha (88%)==Virizion (88%, -2 Def, -2 SpD)
Score: 5-6
With Virizion at -2 and a double weakness to Flying, there is no way in hell it's gonna stay in. Predicting the Lando-T switchin, I boost. Hone Claws is my boost here, due to HJK and SE being in his set.
Turn 18:

Well, shoot. I do not want to lose my boosts ( including Unburden, for what it's worth), but I can at least dent Bro here. Yes, I know I should have boosted, but I was wary of Scald.

Earthquake? A single strike move? Is that the best you can do? Okay, maybe it is. With Cruel out and Scizor at -1, it's time for Starmie to clean up.

This guy must have been really desperate to kill Scizor that he forgot to spin. To his credit, he did realize what Starmie's Thunderbolt can do to Cruel, even with its high SpD. So time to spam the special walls.

GG indeed. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is Scizor getting 6 KO's by itself, and why it is now a bro. Thanks for listening, and good luck in your XY battles.

Florges's wish came true!
Your team's Reflect wore off!
Scizor (mega, 88%, -1 Atk)==Landorus-T (100%)<>Florges (100%)
And now Reflect is gone. Scizor is not gonna beat Lando-T at -1, so it's time to pivot.

Well, here we go again. In retrospect, I probably should have gone for Gyro Ball here, but I wasn't sure how Ferro would take the CC. At least I got rocks back up.

Score: 5-6
With Virizion at -2 and a double weakness to Flying, there is no way in hell it's gonna stay in. Predicting the Lando-T switchin, I boost. Hone Claws is my boost here, due to HJK and SE being in his set.

Not bad. At +1, that's an OHKO after rocks, which is good news for you SD Hawlucha users. Time to spam.

Well, shoot. I do not want to lose my boosts ( including Unburden, for what it's worth), but I can at least dent Bro here. Yes, I know I should have boosted, but I was wary of Scald.

I underestimated how much a Fake Out can do with Parental Bond. Fortunately, I still have Reflect usable, even though it will cost me my Meowstic.

Earthquake? A single strike move? Is that the best you can do? Okay, maybe it is. With Cruel out and Scizor at -1, it's time for Starmie to clean up.

This guy must have been really desperate to kill Scizor that he forgot to spin. To his credit, he did realize what Starmie's Thunderbolt can do to Cruel, even with its high SpD. So time to spam the special walls.

Well, that didn't help much. This is where legends are made. It's Scizor time. Seeing as how Florges can't do much to it, I go for the boost, and that turns out to be a very good idea.

Told you so. Now despite Megazor's bulk, it will not enjoy a STAB CC by any means. But my opponent brought in something with 72 base defense against it. Why don't I avoid the CC?

GG indeed. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is Scizor getting 6 KO's by itself, and why it is now a bro. Thanks for listening, and good luck in your XY battles.
