[SET COMMENTS]
Utility Scizor offers unique role compression in the OverUsed tier, combining priority, Knock Off, pivoting and entry hazard removal in one teamslot, as well as being a useful defensive piece. STAB and Technician boosted Bullet Punch threatens the tier's Fairy- and Ice-types such as Iron Valiant, Enamorus and Kyurem with heavy damage, revenge killing frail or weakened threats like Dragapult and Darkrai, as well as dissuading threats such as as Dragonite, Gholdengo and Raging Bolt from using Tera Fairy. U-turn serves as useful pivoting, allowing Scizor to switch out of bad matchups like Corviknight, Pecharunt and Galarian Weezing, while dissuading Pokemon like Ogerpon-W and Ting-Lu from switching in. Knock Off ensures creating progress by removing items like Heavy-Duty Boots and Leftovers, forcing hazard chip on Pokemon like Zapdos and Moltres, preventing passive recovery on Pokemon such as Corviknight and Garganacl, and easing Scizor's ability to pivot by removing Rocky Helmet from Pokemon like Landorus-T. Knock Off also has the benefit of threatening opposing Gholdengo attempting to block Scizor's hazard removal. Scizor can use Defog to great effect, since it can threaten hazard setters like Hisuian Samurott and Glimmora with its STAB moves. Sitrus Berry allows Scizor to heal in a pinch, useful for fast paced teams. Notably, Sitrus Berry turns Choice Specs Kyurem's Earth Power from a 2HKO to a 3HKO. Heavy-Duty Boots is an option on slower paced teams to avoid hazard chip, making its removal more reliable. Tera Steel boosts Scizor's offensive presence to terrifying levels, letting Bullet Punch to OHKO Iron Valiant as well as 2HKO Darkrai and Dragapult. Alternatively, Tera Dragon can be used defensively, turning Fire-type moves like Flamethrower and Fiery Dance into a resistance, allowing Scizor to check Pokemon such as Ceruledge and Flamethrower Clefable in a pinch, as well as easing the match-up into Ogerpon-W.

Utility Scizor fits best on offensive teams that appreciate Scizor's role compression. Wallbreakers such as Kyurem, Zamazenta and Iron Valiant pair well with Scizor, enjoying a safe switch in from Scizor's U-Turn. Dark-types like Darkrai, Hisuian Samurott and Kingambit appreciate Scizor's ability to scare out the Fairy-types that threaten them such as Iron Valiant and Clefable. In return, the Dark-types can threaten the physically defensive Ghost-types that can shrug off Scizor's Knock Off, such as Pecharunt and bulky Gholdengo. Water-types like Hisuian Samurott and Alomomola pair well with Scizor defensively, scaring out the Fire-types that threaten Scizor such as Moltres and Cinderace. In return, Scizor offers a 4x resistance and threatens a super effective STAB U-turn on the Grass-types that scare the Water-types, such as Rillaboom and Meowscarada. Due to Scizor's crippling 4x weakness to Fire-type moves, it appreciates teammates that resist such moves, such as Dragonite and Raging Bolt. Dragonite appreciates Scizor's resistance to Ice- and Fairy-type moves, while also threatening the users back with Bullet Punch. Scizor's Defog support is also great for Dragonite, allowing it to carry items other than Heavy-Duty Boots. In return, Dragonite can KO Scizor checks with its multitude of coverage options, such as Ice Spinner for Flying-type Pokemon like Zapdos and Gliscor, Fire Punch for Pokemon like Corviknight, and Earthquake for Pokemon such as Ceruledge, Heatran and Iron Treads. Raging Bolt is also a great teammate, threatening the bulky Flying- and Water-types that wall Scizor, like Corviknight, Moltres, Alomomola and Toxapex, while resisting Fire-moves as well. In return, Scizor threatens the Ice- and Fairy-types that scare Raging Bolt as well as Ting-Lu with either U-Turn or Knock Off. Additionally, the two form a double priority and pivoting core, constantly keeping momentum and prevent set-up sweepers from snowballing out of control. Due to its lack of power, Pokemon like Kingambit, Raging Bolt, and Dragonite can use Scizor as a set-up opportunity, so teammates that punish such attempts like Ogerpon-W with Encore and phazers such as Roar Zamazenta and Moltres are appreciated.

Knock Off makes sure to create progress by removing items from Pokemon, forcing hazard chip on Pokemon like Zapdos, Moltres, and Alomomola quick nitpick but you aren't forcing hazard chip onto Mola because of Regen, as well as removing Leftovers's passive healing from Pokemon like Corviknight and Ting-Lu. no sane Ting player is swapping in on Sciz Knock Off's ability to remove Rocky Helmet is vital for such a contact reliant Pokemon. Knock Off in particular threatens Gholdengo, discouraging switch-ins to block Scizor's hazard removal. these three sentences could be combined into one (Knock Off removes Boots / Lefties / Helmets + threatens Ghold) Scizor can use Defog to great effect, since it can threaten the tier's hazard setters like Hisuian Samurott and Glimmora and Landorus-T with either of its STAB moves or Knock Off. Sitrus Berry allows Scizor to heal in a pinch, useful for fast paced teams, but Heavy-Duty Boots is an option for slower paced teams that desire Scizor to avoid hazard chip, allowing it to make its removal more reliable.

Wallbreakers such as Dragapult and Zamazenta pair well with Scizor, allowing to safely switch in from Scizor's U-Turn.

Due to Scizor's crippling 4x weakness to Fire-type moves, it appreciates teammates that resist such moves, such as the previously mentioned Alomomola, Walking Wake and Ceruledge. wake wouldn't be seen on these sciz teams, ceru maybe but leaning towards no Alomomola in particular is a great partner, since its Wish passing can keep Scizor healthy without a need for Sitrus Berry, allowing it to have Heavy-Duty Boots to avoid hazard chip. In exchange, Scizor tanks the Grass-moves Alomomola is threatened by. Walking Wake is an option, providing more offensive pressure for the opposing team, especially dealing heavy damage on Ground-types that can shrug of Scizor's hits, notably Gliscor and Great Tusk. In return, Scizor resists the Fairy-type moves that Walking Wake is weak to. Scizor is a good partner for Ceruledge, since its Defog helps Ceruledge maintain Focus Sash on more aggressive teams. Meanwhile, Ceruledge threatens Steel-types and Ghost-types like Corviknight, Gholdengo and Pecharunt that switch-in on Scizor for super effective damage, and is immune to the pesky Will-O-Wisp Scizor hates. see above comment re: wake and ceru Raging Bolt is also a great teammate, threatening the bulky Flying- and Water-types that wall Scizor, like Corviknight, Moltres, Alomomola and Toxapex, while resisting Fire-moves as well. The two also form a double priority and pivoting core, constantly keeping momentum and prevent set-up sweepers from snowballing out of control. could mention Sciz forcing out Ting-Lu / Knocking it Due to its lack of power, Pokemon like Kingambit, Raging Bolt, and Dragonite can use Scizor as a set-up oppurtunity, so teammates that punish such attempts like Encore Ogerpon-W and Iron Valiant are appreciated.

Implemented your changes, so ready for reevaluation. I have also decided to replace Wake+Ceru with Dragonite, and include Raging Bolt as a fire resistance. Hope this isn't too bothersome.

Tera Steel boosts Scizor's offensive presence to terrifying levels, letting Bullet Punch to OHKO Iron Valiant as well as 2HKO Darkrai and Dragapult.

Knock Off also has the benefit of threatening opposing Gholdengo attempting to block Scizor's hazard removal. Scizor can use Defog to great effect, since it can threaten hazard setters like Hisuian Samurott and Glimmora with its STAB moves. Sitrus Berry allows Scizor to heal in a pinch, useful for fast paced teams. Notably, Sitrus Berry turns Choice Specs Kyurem's Earth Power from a 2HKO to a 3HKO. Heavy-Duty Boots is an option on slower paced teams to avoid hazard chip, making its removal more reliable. Tera Steel boosts Scizor's offensive presence to terrifying levels, letting Bullet Punch to OHKO Iron Valiant as well as 2HKO Darkrai and Dragapult.

In return, Scizor offers a 4x resistance and threatens a super effective STAB U-turn on the Grass-types that scare the Water-types, such as Rillaboom and Meowscarada. Due to Scizor's crippling 4x weakness to Fire-type moves, it appreciates teammates that resist such moves, such as Dragonite and Raging Bolt. Dragonite appreciates Scizor's resistance to Ice- and Fairy-type moves, while also threatening the users back with Bullet Punch.
