(OU) Metal Titan


Scizor (M) @ Metal Coat
Trait: Technician
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Swords Dance
- Bullet Punch
- Bug Bite
- Superpower


Primarily, I'd like to give Eternal credit for this Scizor. Anyways, Choice Band on Scizor has been overrated since day one. The big buzz with Scizor is that it has a tremendously high Attack stat. along with the ability Technician. Slapping on a Choice Band ultimately raises its Attack but unfortunately lowers its versatility. This set is what you would call an opportunist Scizor. First of all Ferrothorn switches are common on predicted Bullet Punches but because of the lack of Choice Band, Scizor isn't just locked into Bullet Punch and can freely Superpower to get rid of the annoying burr ball. This also takes out a common factor that results in the loss of your Pokemon or worse, the match. This Scizor can bring relief from such situations where mind games commence and anxiety strikes. Being an opportunist, another choice is to use Swords Dance to attempt a sweep. Although Scizor is more versatile, the lack of U-Turn slows down your team's momentum therefore Scizor needs to be placed with team synergy and compatibility in mind.
