Whats a better Scizor to use for competitive battling?
The Quick Attacking Scizor:
Item: Life Orb
Ability: Technician (increases attacks with 60 base power or less by 50%)
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 252 Att, 232 Hp, 24 Def
Moveset:
- Quick Attack
- Swords Dance
- Iron Head/X scissor
- Brick Break/Roost
= Quick attacking scizor basically attacks using quick attack. Though it's a weak move, it gets incredibly boosted by LIfe Orb, Swords Dance and Technician. It may not be able to make a OHKO after a swords dance, but it can really damage big.
OR
The Endure-Reversal Scizor
Item: Leichi Berry
Ability: Technician/Swarm
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 252 Att, 252 Spd, 6 Hp
Moveset:
- Agility
- Endure
- Reversal
- Night Slash
= First use agility to outrun some pokemon, use endure to avoid being KO'd and to activate Leichi berry, then reversal away. Night slash for ghosts and psychics.
I've tried both sets on Shoddy, but I'm still undecided. Opinions please, and vote as well. Thanks!
EDIT: described Technician so people will know what it does. ^^
