aerial ace does hard damage on it's own. what psychic do you know outspeeds scyther and sets reflect or has a very strong defensive stat in UU? your only concern would be rock polish Solrock. luckily, i am the only person who will probably ever try it lol, who gets nuetral from brick break anyway (and who might end up using explosion). scarf psychics are probably going to trick/paralyze/burn you, which is what sub is super handy for. focus sashers w/ reflect (if these exist) will just result in you brick breaking them to death and breaking the barrier.
the only psychic who is a relative threat to scizor is scarf Xatu (which i've never seen/used) and aerial ace does more damage to it than X-Scissor anyway. so yeah, i really don't see any added benefit of X-Scissor as opposed to sub. |
I should've taken your advice of EQ over Waterfall Samson.
X-Scissor have a few benefits and I like running Smogon's set, it just works for me though I am keen to try your SubSalac Scyther maybe on another team 8D |
