    Scyther can really sweep better IMO, but SR really pwns it...

    Scizor @ Leftovers
    Trait: Swarm
    EVs: 252 HP / 128 Atk / 128 Def
    Admant / Impish Nature
    - Baton Pass
    - Agility
    - Swords Dance
    - X-Scizzor

    Scizor @ Life Orb
    Trait: Technician
    EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
    Admant Nature
    - Agility
    - X-Scizzor
    - Pursuit
    - Iron Head

    Blah. I'm no good with the sweeper set lol
     
    yeah scyther's speed is better, but the bottom line for me is that i use he pkmn that inspired me to play. But i forgot about pursuit so thanx for that :)
     
    Scizor is like gg with any fire type move

    Scizor @ Leftovers
    Trait: Swarm
    EVs: 252 HP / 128 Atk / 128 Def
    Admant / Impish Nature
    - Baton Pass
    - Agility
    - Swords Dance
    - X-Scizzor

    I like this set Anti

    but

    Scizor @ Liechi Berry
    6 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
    Adamant
    Trait: Swarm
    -Agility
    -Endure
    -Reversal
    -X-Scissor <--Stabbie

    I like mucking around with this set XD
     
    Scizor @ Life Orb
    Trait: Swarm
    EVs: 252 Atk / 128 HP / 128 Spd
    Adamant Nature
    - Aerial Ace
    - Agility
    - Swords Dance/Iron Head/Brick Break
    - X-Scizzor

    You said you don't want a Baton Passer. D:
     
    I know scizor gets nailed by fire types, thats why i suggested U-turn. Damage and a switch out, and I think the stat boost from SD or agility will remain in play, making it even more effective
     
    I enjoy this Scizor. He's kinda fun to use. :)

    Scizor @ Shell Bell
    Trait: Technician
    Jolly / Impish / Adamant Nature
    EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 HP
    - Double Hit
    - Metal Claw
    - X-Scissor / Aerial Ace
    - Swords Dance / Agility

    Everything relies on Technician for power. Double Hit gets a total of 105 Power ([35 * 150%] * 2 = 105). Two hits also means that you can break down Subs, and recover twice in one turn with Shell Bell. Metal Claw's total power with STAB and Technician is 112.5 which rounds off to 113 (same as Steel Wing with just STAB, but more reliable and usable to help increase Atk). X-Scissor for STAB, or Aerial Ace for coverage, and a boosting move to help make up for the lack of one stat, depending on the nature. :D
     
    2 questions for everyone:
    A) Impish nature? What does it do again?
    B) U-Turn? do stat boosts from SD/Agil stay in play?

    +Def, -SAtk

    No.

    Otherwise BP would be obsolete...
     
    Oh, man. What was I thinking... A big YES to U-Turn for saving Scizor from his untimely doom from a Flamethrower.

    @ Lumine: You beat me to that moveset. Good call on the Reverscizor. I gave the similar set to my friend, and he really used it well. *thumbs up* =]
     
    fair point, guess it makes sense. Ooh i dont like impish, with only one weakness scizor has a tiny chance of surviving some attacks. may as well decrease SpAtt which is an unused stat.
     
    @ Anti-pop: could you post a sweeping Scyther moveset? I'm curious, that's all. Who knows? Maybe it'll help with the discussion.

    Impish DOES decrease SAtk. It increases Def, which is Scizor's best stat.

    for the record, any set made around reversal is probably bad...

    Scyther @ Life Orb / Focus Sash / Lum Berry / Leftovers
    Trait: Swarm / Technician (I don't care...)
    EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
    Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
    - Swords Dance
    - X-Scizzor
    - Aerial Ace
    - Night Slash / Pursuit

    Technician always, unless his only attack is X Scissor, in which case go with Swarm
     
    Im not keen on technician, a base 60 attack is moved up to 90, I'd rather choose a base 90 att and have a chance of swarm's boost. It's only really helpfull with moves like pursuit imo

    And aerial ace...and metal claw...and of course, pursuit...
     
    All I know is my Scyther with Technician hits with a 135 BP Aerial Ace =P

    Swarm is only good if you are planning on letting Scizor take hits long enough to activate Swarm, which is why I only suggest using Swarm on the Baton Passing sets (since he is gonna take hits when he is powering up)
     
    Novelty: CBzor

    Scizor@Choice Band/Scarf
    Adamant/Jolly
    Technician
    X-Scissor
    Iron Head/Steel Wing/Metal Claw
    Pursuit/Night Slash
    Aerial Ace

    Suprise, Surprise. Apparently, I also have a Choice set for the other usable Bug/Steel Type (Wormadam = Pathetic)

    Basically, the chocie for the Steel or Dark Move is all about preference.

    THis could work with Scyther, if you don't mine is being COMPLETELY DESTROYED by Stealth Rocks. Since Rock Attacks are more common than Fire, Scizor>Scyther Typing wise (Not to mention Scyther is weak against both sides of Bolt-Beam)
     
    Iron Head over Metal Claw, the power reaches 120.
