Which game? Are you playing a specific format? Is this for playthroughs or competitive.

I don't have much experience with baton pass, but if you're trying to do a full baton passing team, there are probably better options than Scizor. If you're just baton passing in a more casual team, then I think Scizor is fine.
this if for after gen 4 when scizor got technician and for competitive
Ahh, I see.

Is there any specific Gen of competitive you plan to use bp Scizor in or are you just trying to get an overall timeline of Scizor's baton pass usage?
Baton Pass strategies are completely banned in singles in Gen 4 onwards in all Smogon rulesets (with the exception of Gen 5) and not very viable in doubles and VGC due to its fast paced nature (don't quote me on this, I dont know much about VGC), so I would say that overall Scizor is NOT useful as a Baton Pass user currently. Baton Pass Scizor was somewhat useful in Gen 3 and Gen 2 OU though. I think back when Baton Pass was allowed in Gen 4 singles it was used in some Baton Pass chains but is no longer used due to BP being banned.
I will answer this in more detail once the OP specifies what ruleset/format and generation(s) that the OP wants to know about the usefulness of BP Scizor in.
okay got that
