How GREAT is Scizor Now ACTUALLY? - History of Scizor in Competitive Pokemon (Gens 8-9)

I actually like this, giving extra fleshed out "where are they now" esk segments. Especially considering the removal and rework of moves and abilities that's been going on starting in gen 8

[@drxavier1870]

With Mega Scisor likely returning in Legends Z, its gonna have Close Combat and Dual Wingbeat wich is gonna be terrifying

[@georgecortes3416]

That's only if Abilities return because don't forget, Legends Arceus got rid of Abilities. Only exception was Regigigas still having Slow Start because at this point, Game Freak dunks on Regigigas because they find it funny. If Abiltiies do come back, Heavy Slam Mega Metagross, Dual Wingbeat Mega Scizor, Close Combat Mega Lopunny, the offensive Megas would be ridiculous!

[@halfway7690]

​@@georgecortes3416 why do abilities have to come back for megas? Genuinely curious because I haven't followed pokemon at all since Sword and Shield.

[@chinchillinDaily]

​@@halfway7690Most mega pokemon are defined by their abilities

[@georgecortes3416]

@@halfway7690 It's because a lot of Megas were carried by their new Abilities: Mawile, Kangaskhan, and Lopunny wouldn't be the dominant forces they were without their Abilties. Want examples for each? Mega Mawile's Attack was only decent as it needed Huge Power to become the monster it was in Gens 6 & 7. Mega Kangaskhan would lead it to be "ehh" without Parental Bond letting it hit twice in one turn. And Mega Lopunny was excellent since Scrappy let it hit Ghost-Types with its newfound Normal/Fighting-STAB. Not every Mega is hard-carried by their Abilties like Aerodcatyl & Latios, but a lot of them wouldn't have nearly as much viability without them. Does that answer your question?

[@thel-iteralone4592]

Bug/Steel is such an outstanding type combo, it's not even funny. Turns out pairing Steel with the nature based typings like with Bug and Grass works wonders.

[@joshuahong8255]

Steel really benefits from the most notable defensive advantage of grass and bug, namely the ground resist

[@patrickburton1401]

@@joshuahong8255they’re the only typings that eliminates a weakness without adding any extra.. only adding a 4x weakness that would’ve been a weakness regardless. Pure benefit.

[@MarthaVsHumanity]

@@patrickburton1401Pairing Steel with Dragon also doesn’t give it any additional weaknesses, and loses its weakness to Fire in return for losing a few resistances.

The slight irony of this is that Forretress ended up falling off a bit in GSC OU because of its Fire weakness, as while Cloyster has more weaknesses, none of them were 4x

A video about Scizor is always special for me. Scizor was my favorite all the way back to Pokemon Silver and I even use randomizers now to have Scizor as my starter in games.

[@Meddadius]

Blaziken seeing the other Hoenn starters get videos these past few weeks: "My remake is coming real soon, I can feel it!" Scizor:

[@CaptainJLinebeck]

Considering videos of trios used to get interrupted by a random mon nearly everytime, this is very fitting

[@adolfojuangarcia1906]

Scizor is such an awesome beast. In the anime and game, you're garuntteed some street cred with one. The only bad part is you need to trade for it.

[@nolongeraperson]

USED to have to trade for it. The past two generations let you catch it via Raid Battles or in the open field.

[@sharpiefumes]

glad that in the recent games you can just shiny hunt them en masse. It used to be so difficult to evolve

[@PerfectAzrael]

You can also evolve it in Legends Arceus without needing to trade.

Scizor has and will always be my favorite Pokémon of all time. Not only for her absolutely killer design but also she’s also just very fun to use competitively lol. Powerful with a variety of moveset and role options, but not too overbearing with reasonable counters (at least in my opinion)

[@HighMightyWeasel]

Being very familiar and fond of gens 8 and 9, I was frustrated by the middling coverage of those generations. In many previous videos it felt like certain details were missing for those generations. However I’ve noticed that this video is a significant improvement in coverage. It feels like the depth of discussion over Scizor in Gen 8 in particular was on par with what I usually expect from the coverage of earlier gens. I really appreciate it FSG, great video!

[@Jafet2002]

Bullet punch, technician, adamant, choice band plus tera steel is so fun☺️

[@cbggaming1463]

Losing Roost in Gen 9 is genuinely so bad for Scizor, since it lost most of the defensive utility that made it great in Gen 8. On the flipside, Scizor is better offensively this generation, at least early on, due to its Bullet Punch being a great tool against several of the banned Pokemon like Flutter Mane and Chein Pao.

[@skeetermania3202]

Couldn’t bulky setup sets still work without it?

[@elijahstreckfuss8204]

[@easyyen]

I ran a pretty good set for Scizor that had some surprise factor and utility in Gen 8 ladder. I ran a full physically defensive Scizor to live Wicked Blows from Urshifu (which was still OU at the time) with Rocky Helmet and KO it back. It also contributed to checking Buzzwole, Melmetal, Weavile, Urshifu, Rillaboom, and opposing Scizor. Kept momentum with U-turn, stayed healthy with roost, and annoyed the ops knocking off items. Underrated set I used for sure.

[@nousername191]

You remind me of the wild Hawlucha set I used to hear about to stop Urshifu dark: Full bulk investment to survive the resisted STABs and Flying Press since it's 4x effective and doesn't need the attack investment to KO back.

[@StefBryant]
