By virtue of its typing and decent bulk, Scizor is an excellent pivot and setup sweeper that can take on common threats such as Latias, Celebi, and Dragon Dance Mega Altaria while generating momentum for its team or weakening the opposition. Between Swords Dance and Savage Spin-Out, Scizor can break through some of its checks such as Amoonguss and Alomomola after chip damage. This gives it potential to clean late-game with Technician-boosted Bullet Punch. Scizor fits best on bulky offense teams with pivots such as Mega Manectric, Rotom-H, and Choice Scarf Hydreigon that form a VoltTurn core with it and help wear down the opposing team. Wallbreakers such as Terrakion and Primarina appreciate Scizor bringing them in safely with U-turn; they also take advantage of the Fire-types that it lures in. Finally, Pokemon such as Mega Aerodactyl and Tentacruel can switch into Fire-types that take advantage of Scizor such as Moltres and Infernape respectively.
