The fall of DPP Scizor

This is indeed an epic video. Already fell asleep to it twice 🔥

[@Tvboy777]

As a DPP OG watching this, the fact that you have to say "I have evidence of this" regarding Scizor's #1 status in OU is just mind blowing to me.

[@SteveScapesYT]

This!!! Scizor #1 was like a fact of physics

[@natpeterson5278]

I still remember those days. Scizor was on 90% of teams back then.

[@astromigui]

Yep, I left the game shortly after that period (start of BW) and just started getting back at it a few months ago, and it seems crazy to think that you should have to prove that evidence 😂

[@adamriley9241]

I have a Undergraduate in Advance Ou/DPP Ubers, Gen 5 Ou/Ubers because of BKC. I may not play Showdown but I do use it to my advantage when playing thru the games stories. Thank you Cowboy BKC, we'll russel up more algorithm cattle for the channels herd.

[@patt1511]

Past BKC surprising current BKC with great predictions is always so funny to me

[@spiciestbirb]

Because Scizor is less used now I always get surprised taking 70 percent from neutral U turn and then getting swept by bullet punch

[@JudgeofSpookyArchetypes]

It’s truly scizover 😔

Truly tragic. One of the greatest bugs to ever do it.

[@WellToastedBagel]

This is the definition of "he was number 1!". Gonna nickname every Scizor Werbenjagermanjenson from now on.

[@Kenny-Blankenship]

I agree that it fell off, but it was a bit dramatic to sing Hurt by Johnny Cash at the end of the video :^^)

[@BKCplaysPokemon]

what have I become?

[@shacolin6546]

Scizor was top usage in Black and White for a while too. I remember it reaching 33% play rate and, while I can't confirm if it was all consecutive or not, but over a period of two years, I rarely, if ever saw a pokemon that wasn't Scizor as rank 1

[@BeeEmpress]

I’m constantly saying to my old, tired friends The fall of DPP Scizor

[@spiciestbirb]

I never thought I would understand The Fall of DPP Scizor

[@IndellableHatesHandles]

Steel types in general are very easy to build a team around in-game. Start out with one of the Steel types in the region and add members to cover its weakensses.

[@vyktorehon5995]

Babe wake up, BKC posted a new vid

[@TheHero136]

DPP Scizor was such a fun Pokémon in the day. Sad to see it has fallen off. Also, Attempt #4 on of regional forms were introduced in earlier generations. I know your busy but your thoughts on stuff like what Gen 2 would look like with Alolan Marowak would be fascinating.

[@ShinyTillDawn]

you're *

[@MagikarpPower]

god I remember the old days of gen 4. I would run scarf scizor to pursuit the azelfs starmies and gengars everywhere

[@MagikarpPower]

finally seeing scarf scizor get some love in a YT video... from what I remember it was like 2% of all scizors in 2010

[@catandfishfc]

Scarf Scizor is great in gen 5 too!

[@tobiasw7260]

As someone who had been kinda active on Smogon during HGSS, I was honestly utterly surprised to see Scizor's drop in viability rankings. So thanks for that video!

[@tecul1]

who remembers

[@Brodie-np4te]

This video really hurt to watch since Scizor is my favorite Pokémon and watching it fall off in it’s breakout generation really fucking hurts. 😭 But it’s a good video. Amazing work as always BKC.

[@sinjihnsmith74]

Didn’t it breakout in ADV

[@mrniceguy7168]

2008 was 15 years ago, I think I’m just gonna shut off this video, it deeply unsettled me since I was there

[@theschnozzler]

I'm curious does Earthworm still play pokemon and if yes did he say anything when he found out a pokemon named orthworm was created

[@suwako2976]

The scizor in the thumbnail looks pretty cool. There's a nostalgic sense to it.

[@orkiporki8895]

I agree, AI Professor theme does go really hard.

[@madvorakCZ]

BKC's Gen 4 videos are top.

Always a blast with daily BKC upload. Cheers

Video idea: What if Ferrothorn Was in DPP?

[@marcorossi2854]

I was still using it while i was still playing DPP

[@TanatatKnight246]

Two of my favorite: Snorlax and Scizor has fallen in my starting Generation. My day is ruined.

[@emmetth3726]

The only notable success I’ve had with dpp scizor personally is memey occa berry swords dance Strats

[@Isofn.]

ive been hearing bkc talk about dpp scizor since i was like 13 times flown

[@Wizzyhatg]

Scizor would be much stronger if DPP was Bo3

[@Bea5rs]

Off topic, but what are your thoughts on the recent DPP Snow Cloak ban and how it affects Froslass? Would you may a vid on this topic?

[@rickelmemonti1405]

horrible news...

[@fusionflare2103]

Yo, what’s the music used for this

[@carbonatedblood645]

Maybe i came into dp ou too late, but i find it so hard to envision scizor as that good. Anytime the enemy team uses one i can set up spikes with skarm, anytime i use one it's forced out by most any fire types. Idk, Scizor's certainly no Breloom

[@mapthemultiverse]

Did anyone ever attempt to experiment with bulky SD scizor + dugtrio? getting rid of loom and tran with one mon sounds like pretty good synergy.

[@marcorossi2854]

Arena trap is banned

[@ElceePlaysCiv]

I know you have separate video on Mence but do you think Scizor would return to #1 if mence was unbanned? I see people advocating for a mence unban sometimes and I kinda cringe thinking back to this meta.

[@joaovitormendescerqueira6985]

How do you play gen4 OU?

[@nomnom2407]

Do you plan on getting a new computer?

[@screwtokaiba]

Scizor is probably my #1 pick of Smogon tiering working backwards(a mon lock in OU thats fine in lower) in part since its unambuguoudly good. Its iirc OU until gen 8 but it arguably could be UU and below even in its prime on gen 4. The mons good but the kit is kinda placed in such a way where its not particularly hard to diminish its power. Like Arcanine and Moltres is a top mon in dpp UU iirc? Also i though it was upper 40% at one point somehow lol.

[@sofaking9404]

To strong for UU

[@waternotwater5562]

That and centralizing

[@20oxide36]

The funny thing is that it was actually really good in gen 8 before Kyurem got banned. Also decent for stuff like lele because no hidden power

[@schroederluck7984]

@@sofaking9404not enough steels in UU to help check it. Relying on only fire mons to counter it in DPP UU is bad because of how tough it could be to spin.

I wish the bug/steel type was better, it doesn't really offer much in term of resistance that matter in dpp ou except for dragon and immunity to toxic

[@Tvboy777]

Weird comment. 9 resistances and an immunity with only 1 weakness is a great type combination.

[@pikminologueraisin2139]

@@Tvboy777 I don't know man, when it comes to dpp ou they're not that useful

[@marcorossi2854]

This is not true at all. Resisting draco meteors and not caring about toxic are already really good defensive traits. Try running a heavily spdef invested Sciz.
