[Regeneration]

Joining because I want to. ;3

[Lalapizzame]

I'll join too.

Partner: Stoney Blaes Jr. the Heatran

But I feel the name of the club is inaccurate...
Not all steel types are slow.

Lucario has decent speed , Jirachi is faster, Metagross is fast enough to make use of Agility, Klingklang, has Gear Change, which inceases it's good attack & speed & Scizor ignores it's speed stat with it's very strong Bullet Punch. Also, Excadrill has good speed which doubles in the VERY common sandstorm.

Yes, we are already aware of that. But really all we wanted was a title and we didn't care what it was as long as it has something to do with steel types.

Do you really need an evaluation of Scizor from me? ;-;

 

[Jake♫]

Scizor is sexy. Ever since Platinum gave it Bullet Punch it's battling capabilities skyrocketed, as I'm sure most of us are well aware of. I also like it's design a lot.

[/awful review where I have to go to work soon]

 

[Spinosaurus]

Scizor

Design: 7/10
Stats: 8/10
Viability: 10/10

Scizor is an overrated yet interesting Pokemon. Great design with decent stats make this Pokemon viable in the Metagame. When you first look at this Pokemon, you'd probably want to get one. Of course, it's quite difficult to guess that this is Scyther's evolution, with the change in its secondary typing and all. This is a downfall, and it doesn't even look like a steel type. Despite that, the design is amazing and it brings justice to Bug types. Most Pokemon fan would always want their hand on a Scizor. Heck, Scizor is one of the reasons I chose Treecko in PMD1. (As you can't get Treecko's friend area until after the credits roll, which is also Scyther's friend area.)

The stats were creative. It would only make sense for it to have a better defense and attack but a lower speed as it has a thick, red metallic exoskeleton. However, the low speed and rather mediocre Sp.Def and HP pulls it back. But the low speed isn't much of a problem as Technician and Bullet Punch makes up for it. Supported with an amazing 130 base attack makes it a great Choice Bander and a monster with Swords Dance. A 100 base defense isn't something to laugh at as well.

Scizor is amazing in the metagame. Filling many roles such as choice user, revenge killer, bulky sweeper and a lot more. Countering one of the biggest threat in the game, Reuniclus and being able to actually take hits. A +2 Bullet Punch is capable of 2HKOing Infernape and Blaziken, 2 Pokemon that resists it. However, Scizor is rather countered easily by Rotom-W, Skarmory, Bronzong and especially Jellicent holds it back this gen. But with the great support you should be careful of it.

Overall, Scizor is a great Pokemon design-wise and battling-wise.
Is it overrated? Yes
Does it deserve it? Absolutely.
