So this is my first moveset ever but I'm trying to get into Smogon and stuff.
U DEAD
Scizor @ Scizorite
Ability: Technician
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def
Impish Nature
- Bullet Punch
- Roost / Curse
- Brick Break / Defog / Substitute
- U-turn / Bug Bite
I'm pretty sure this looks good because I have so much text so lol.
Analysis:
So, wow, this set is doing really well in Showdown battles for me, it can take SO many hits, and then recover, and then priority, WITH SO MUCH ATTACK. And switch whilst attacking? So basically, stall + slow sweeper (I know that doesn't exist I just forgot the name if there even is any)?!
So, now with the moveset:
What if there was a move, on a Pokémon that has monstrous high Attack stat, and is Priority, and even the Pokémon even has Technician, and it's even STAB. Well, you have Mega-Scizor with Bullet Punch.
That's a must have of course.
This move should be used the most throughout the game, since Brick Break does WAY less then this.
Then, Roost, for extra stall, since those overpowered moves can MAX to half of Mega-Scizor's HP. And OP moves mostly have less PP then Roost. If a Pokémon hurts on like the littlest bit and got to half of your HP, then just don't Roost and wait 2 turns more (2 turns more if it does like really teeny, like really teeny).
Or you can have Curse after you set up a Substitute. I mean, if you do Curse, You survive everything, and you faint everything, though I prefer a good ol' Roost for safety.
Brick Break is for walls, and has decent power, though it's only effective, not super effective. and those are the most used in the game on Landorus, and Garchomp, and Mega-Swampert, so it's the best only for walls. And since this doesn't look like the best wallbreaker to me, I'm pretty sure the other moves are better. Defog for if you don't have a Defogger. And don't worry if you have set Hazards already, just Defog (unless almost all of your team resists it and they all are pretty bulky/you are the only one of your team left) and if you do have a Defogger, I'm pretty sure you can use Substitute for even more stall.
If you are good at predicting switches, U-turn is a must have. If you know someone is going to switch into a Fire type, you can switch to Battle Bond Greninja for the OHKO. Or you could send in another weakness of Fire. Or you can do a Pokémon on low health and switch into Battle Bond Greninja. And, you shouldn't be afraid of switching, unless you can almost definitely faint your foe.
And, I guess you can have Bug Bite if you think you almost can't predict anything at all, or you don't have a Battle Bond Greninja on your team. Or you just like moves with more attack since this does pretty decent damage.
TL;DR:
- High Atk, Physical Bulk
- Bullet Punch Priority, Technician, STAB
- Roost for Stall/Curse the beast after Substitute
- Brick Break for walls/Defog for Defogging/Substitute for extra stall
- U-turn if you are great at predicting switches/you have Battle Bond Greninja/Bug Bite if you don't have what's said for U-turn or you like power more
