I am not sure whether to use Scizor or Bisharp for my doubles VGC team. I have a Scizor who has served me well, and has won me about 65% of the battles he's been in, but with all the Intimidate users running around, and the fact that I have recently battled a large amount of teams that used Sticky Web, I thought Bisharp might be better due to Defiant. Here are the Pokemon:
Scizor @ Life Orb
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd / 4 HP
Ability: Technician
Adamant Nature
-Bullet Punch
-Bug Bite
-Swords Dance
-Protect

Bisharp @ Life Orb
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd / 4 HP
Ability: Defiant
Adamant Nature
-Sucker Punch
-Iron Head
-Low Kick
-Protect
There they are. Scizor is one of my favorites and has done very well, and is surprisingly fast with 252 Spd EVs. He does compound my team's weakness to fire, with only one member resisting it and with his 4x weakness, he is hurt worse than Bisharp. Bisharp, on the other hand, would compound my Fighting weakness, but half my tam resists fighting, so it isn't as much of a problem. Bullet Punch is more reliable than Sucker Punch and has much higher PP, but 40 less base power. I am thinking of replacing Protect with Pursuit on Scizor to smash opponents fleeing from it, but Protect is very useful in doubles, so I'm not sure. If Bisharp learns Pursuit, I might give it that for the same reasons. Scizor is also my team's only Fairy resist, and switching it for Bisharp would mean no Fairy resistances.

There it is I can't decide whether to include Bisharp or Scizor. Both have disadvantages and advantages to the rest of the team. This is not a full RMT so you don't post things for the other team members, they are just included to to help you figure out which 'mon would be a better fit for the team. I'm sorry if this question is in the wrong place, but it wouldn't let me post it in the Q&A. If you have a suggestion for one of my other team members you absolutely need to say, post it in a comment please.
