[SET COMMENTS]
Swords Dance Scizor is an incredible wallbreaker for Bug teams, threatening offensive teams like Fairy, Dragon, and Ice. After a Swords Dance boost, Scizor becomes a powerful revenge killer that deals with fast frail threats like Iron Valiant, Mega-Diancie, and Sneasler using Bullet Punch. Close Combat is mandatory coverage, being able to take out Ferrothorn, Hisuian Goodra, and Blissey after a boost. Knock Off handles Psychic- and Ghost- types like Jirachi, Slowbro, and Gholdengo while hindering walls that switch in. Alternatively, Trailblaze increases Scizor's mediocre Speed while taking on Water- and Ground- types like Azumarill, Swampert, and Hippowdon. Metal Coat is the optimal item for the boost to Bullet Punch it provides without the downside of Life Orb recoil, which secures OHKOs on Pokemon like Latios and Mega Lopunny at +2. 216 Speed EVs let it outspeed base 100 Pokemon after -1 from Sticky Webs or a single Trailblaze boost. Sticky Web is often provided by Galvantula, which also takes care of Pokemon like Corviknight and Toxapex that Scizor struggles with. Araquanid handles Fire- types like Volcarona and Blacephalon while also providing Sticky Web support and a burn immunity. Volcarona appreciates Scizor's removal of walls and Choice Scarf users like Nihilego while in return dealing with bulky physical walls such as Zapdos or Great Tusk. Kleavor sets Stealth Rock, which chips down opposing teams into boosted Bullet Punch range while also handling Fire- types like Volcarona and Mega Charizard Y. Finally Mega Pinsir removes Fighting- types and can more easily pick off teams that have been weakened by Scizor's powerful priority move.

Swords Dance Scizor is an incredible wallbreaker for Bug teams, threatening bulkier teams (these types arent bulky though, and safe to say its much more threatening vs offense rather than actually bulky types like Poison, tho) and types like Fairy, Dragon, and Ice. With Bullet Punch Scizor after a boost is a powerful revenge killer that deals with fast frail threats like Iron Valiant, Mega-Diancie, and Sneasler. Close Combat is mandatory coverage, being able to take out Ferrothorn, Hisuian Goodra, (archaludon instead?) Blissey and Ting Lu (cut one of these) after a boost. Knock Off handles Psychic and Ghost types like Gholdengo, Jirachi, and Slowbro while hindering walls that switch in. Alternatively, Trailblaze increases Scizor's mediocre speed while taking on Water or Ground types like Swampert (hippowdon? Technically the only mon preventing Sciz/its team mates from running wild.) and Azumarill. Metal Coat is the optimal item for the boost to Bullet Punch it provides without the downside of Life Orb recoil (mention kill benchmarks it achieves, like ohkoing Latios and M.Lop at +2) . The 216 speed EV spread outruns Base 100 Pokemon after -1 from Sticky Webs or a single Trailblaze boost. Sticky Web is often provided by Galvantula while also taking care of Pokemon like Corviknight, and Toxapex that Scizor struggles with. Araquanid eats Fire types like Volcarona, and Blacephalon while also contributing Sticky Web support and a Burn immunity. Volcarona appreciates Scizor's removal of walls and Choice Scarf users like Meowscarada (cats arent an issue for moth, but pokemon like Ogerpon-C, M.Aero [not a scarfy], Scarf Nihi, and bulky walls like Ting-Lu are), while dealing with physical walls and bulky Electric (electric is a bit random, you dont always need to specify the type next time, just bulky walls would do. Dealing with steel types like Celesteel is kinda nice too...) or Ground types in return such as Zapdos or Great Tusk. Kleavor sets Stealth Rock which chips opposing teams into boosted Bullet Punch range while also handling Fire types like Volcarona and Mega Charizard Y. Finally Mega Pinsir removes Fighting types and can more easily pick off teams that have been weakened by Scizor's powerful priority.
