What are the Pros/Cons of Scolipede?

Question

I'm just thinking on whether to keep mine on my main team or not.

Answer 1

Pros

• Good speed, and decent attack and defense.
• Decent movepool consisting of Aqua Tail, Iron Tail, Superpower, Megahorn, X-Scissor, Earthquake, Rock Slide, Poison Jab, Double Edge, Pursuit and Swords Dance
• Decent abilities in Swarm and Poison Point

Cons

• Stealth Rock weakness
• Completely unusable special attack and special defense
• Can't put Quick Feet to use, because it can't be poisoned, and all the other status conditions severely cripple it
• Outclassed by Pokemon such as Heracross

So I'd say keep it in-game, but drop it competitively. Hope I helped! :)

Comments

Thank you. Btw, what moves do you suggest?
