Scizor

Scizor's great typing, excellent bulk, variety of support moves, Technician-boosted Bullet Punch, and good coverage moves such as Superpower and Quick Attack make it the best Pokemon in the tier. Scizor is able to act as a reliable offensive check to the tier's best attackers, including Latias, Mega Aerodactyl, and Mega Altaria, which grants it many opportunities to apply immediate pressure on the opposing team throughout the match. Scizor also finds itself a comfortable place in every playstyle, as it can be a strong wallbreaker, a devastating sweeper, a scary cleaner, or a glue pivot. However, a below-average Speed stat usually leaves it over-reliant on its priority moves, which can hold it back from beating fast Pokemon like Rotom-H, Moltres, Cobalion, and Tentacruel that resist Bullet Punch. Furthermore, despite having eight resistances and one immunity, Scizor is 4x weak to Fire, which allows Pokemon that Scizor normally beats such as Latias and Mega Altaria to reliably bait Scizor in and OHKO it, and it allows Magneton to trap Scizor and eliminate it reliably. Lastly, four-moveslot syndrome makes Scizor struggle to break certain walls like Mega Aggron, Jellicent, and Doublade, depending on its set.
