Swords Dance
Brick Break
Night Slash
X-Scissor

I have no idea what item to give him. Also, I'm think I spread his EV's a bit to thin. Should I scrap him, or retrain his EV's, or adjust his moves?

scyther is a physical sweeper, through and through....at least in my opinion.

The abillity Technician can give you the element of surprise when you use moves that get a double STAB bonus such as Aerial Ace.

your moveset definitely has a lot of coverage, but to get that first swords dance in... you might find yourself crossing your fingers as he takes the first hit.

hmm... if you're gonna beef up the defenses, might want to go with Scizor.... Stealth Rock knocks scyther down to 50%, but the part flying protects you from spikes..which does come in handy.

I prefer my Scizor because his defenses allow him to take a lot of opening hits while getting in his first agility.

scyther is awesome for Aerial Ace + Technician and agilipassing.

Scyther @ Lum Berry/Leftovers
Adamant Nature
252 ATK/212 HP/44 SPD
Ability: Technician
-Aerial Ace
-Baton Pass/Brick Break
-Agility
-Roost/X-Scissor

agility + roost + baton pass is an awesome combo that gives him several options. physical walls are going to wall him nonetheless so it's just a lot better to use him defensively and supportively.

Scyther@Focus Sash
Technician
Jolly Nature
EVs: 252 Atk, 252 Spd, 6 HP
-Aerial Ace
-X Scissor
-Reversal
-Swords Dance

Take advantage of the Focus Sash, not only can you guarentee a Swords Dance, but then you can fight back with a 200 BP Reversal. If only walling it werent so damn easy, and it wasn't so weak to Stealth Rock
