Scizor @ Life Orb / Iron Plate
Ability: Technician
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Bullet Punch
- Superpower
- Knock Off / Bug Bite / Quick Attack

Despite the commonness of Fire-types such as Rotom-H and Moltres, Scizor remains one of UU's top offensive juggernauts. Its outstanding typing, solid physical bulk, and Technician-boosted Bullet Punch enable it to successfully act as a wallbreaker and setup sweeper. Dominant threats such as Mega Altaria, Terrakion, and non-Babiri Berry Togekiss all succumb to +2 Bullet Punch, and Hydreigon and Latias are OHKOed by Life Orb variants. Superpower is used to muscle past foes resistant to Scizor's other attacks like Cobalion and Mega Aggron, Knock Off cripples foes like Chandelure and Gligar, and Quick Attack handles Steel-resistant foes like Infernape and Mega Sharpedo on Life Orb sets, giving Scizor the ability to handle its checks more easily, which contributes to Swords Dance Scizor being a threat to prepare for. Stealth Rock setters like Krookodile and Nihilego can support Scizor, and pivots like Mega Manectric and Hydreigon are able to generate momentum and eliminate key threats to Scizor such as Moltres and Chandelure.

Talk with some other qc members, and we agreed that the set should be adjusted to this:

Scizor @ Life Orb / Iron Plate
Ability: Technician
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Bullet Punch
- Superpower
- Knock Off / Bug Bite / Quick Attack

Superpower is pretty crucial at this stage in the meta because of the large amount of Steel-types Scizor wouldn't be able to break past without it. As far as changes regarding the writing itself go, make sure that you just modify the writing to reflect this set change, highlighting Knock Off and Quick Attack as the 'fourth slot' options and emphasizing Superpower as a standalone slot just a bit. As far as other changes go, I'd replace the Rhyperior and Swampert examples due to their significantly decreased recent relevance. Nihilego and Krookodile work as examples.

Great work! 1/1 when this is done.

ftr this exceeds the character limit by almost 400 characters, so a lot of filler/fluff/repetition needs to be deleted, I'd probably want to proofread this before kris does his gp check tomorrow.

Despite the increasing popularity commonness of Fire-types such as Rotom-H and Moltres, Scizor still retains its title of remains one of UnderUsed's UU's top offensive juggernauts. Scizor's Its outstanding offensive and defensive (if its typing is great all around, why should it be specified) typing, (AC) in tandem with its solid physical bulk, (AC) and the highly feared Technician-boosted Bullet Punch enables enable it to successfully pull off the role of a Swords Dance act as a wallbreaker and setup sweeper, (RC) able to find ample opportunities to set up and tear through offensive and defensive teams alike (this is almost the exact definitions of "wallbreaker" and "setup sweeper"). Dominant threats such as Mega Altaria, Terrakion, and non-Babiri Berry Togekiss all succumb to +2 Bullet Punch, with the likes of and Hydreigon and Latias able to be are OHKOed by Life Orb variants. Superpower's (RA) ability is used to muscle past foes resistant resistances to Scizor's other attacks like Cobalion and Mega Aggron, Knock Off crippling Pokemon cripples foes like Chandelure and Gligar, and Quick Attack able to be ran on handles Steel-resistant foes like Infernape and Mega Sharpedo on Life Orb sets, (AC) giving for Infernape and Mega Sharpedo gives Scizor the ability to beat select few of handle its checks more easily, which contributes in the right situation. All of these positive traits contribute to Swords Dance Scizor being a Pokemon that every team should threat to prepare be prepared for. Teammates such as Stealth Rock setters like Krookodile and Nihilego can facilitate support Scizor's (RA) offensive presence with Stealth Rock, whereas and pivots like Mega Manectric and Hydreigon are able to generate momentum and eliminate key threats to Scizor such as Moltres and Chandelure.
