Scizor Ownage

We should all know by now that Scizor has gotten Bullet Punch as a new priority attack with the Platinum tutors, it's probably the second most important new move out there, behind Outragemence. Anyways, this team is made to exploit that.

Swampert, Relaxed nature, 240hp/216def/52sp. atk @ Leftovers
Earthquake
Surf
Ice Beam
Stealth Rock

Standard bulky mixpert that I use on almost all of my teams. Gets SR up which is vital to carrying out a setup sweep and can deal with a great many leads. Also serves as a component of a defensive core as a ttar counter.

Celebi, Bold nature, 252hp/212def/36spe @ Leftovers
Recover
Grass Knot
Substitute
Baton Pass

Ah Celebi, the most overused grass type out there. Subpassing is there to fuck Heatran up the ass, literally. The ability to pass a substitute to Dugtrio means that I can kill one of the best anti Scizor pokemon out there with virtually zero risk to myself if the enemy switches it in on Celebi, which is still a somewhat common response to it. Celebi isn't exactly difficult to get in, and doesn't really NEED its other two moves to be a formidable physical sponge should the need arise. Grass knot helps kill the bulky waters that are also threatening a scizor sweep.

Dugtrio, Adamant nature, 252atk/252spe/4def @ Choice Scarf
Earthquake
Stone Edge
Aerial Ace
Sucker Punch

Fuck you, Heatran. Dugtrio also poses a major threat on the revenge to a lot of other things, especially Heracross who is also a good Celebi counter and common switch in. Getting subs passed to him really helps him get in much more often.

Weezing, Bold nature, 252hp/252def/4sp. atk @ Black Sludge
Thunderbolt
Fire Blast
Pain Split
Will-O-Wisp

Weezing is mostly here for a Lucario/Scizor counter, but also counters Weavile, Ice Fang Gyarados, Heracross, among a lot of other things. WoW royally fucks any setup sweeper dumb enough to try it verses him. He also does much better with Heatran out of the picture, more synergy never hurts.

Blissey, Bold nature, 252def/80sp. atk/176sp. def @ Leftovers
Wish
Protect
Seismic Toss
Thunder Wave/Toxic

Blissey with an admittedly dated EV spread. Wish keeps the team going strong, especially Weezing/Swampert, she is at heart a special sponge though. ST is there to prevent CM sweeps.

Scizor, Adamant nature, 252atk/252spe/4def @ Life Orb
Swords Dance
Bullet Punch
X-Scissor
Brick Break/Iron Head

Star of the team. His Bullet punch is even stronger than Lucario's extremespeed with STAB and technician bonus, and also hits ghosts. X-Scissor/Brick Break provide extra coverage. He comes in late game after Dugtrio/my defensive quartet have whittled down the enemy team, removing his best counters.
