Scizor

Scizor is a versatile and powerful physical attacker that brings plenty of utility to any STABmons team. Its typing gives it vital resistances to Dragon-, Fairy-, Ice-, Steel-, and Normal-type attacks, such as Kyurem-B's Icicle Crash, Sylveon's Boomburst, and the Fake Out + Extreme Speed combination. Its Mega Evolution has excellent physical bulk, which allows it to wall threats or set up with Shift Gear easily, while Life Orb and Choice Band give it incredible strength. However, Scizor is held back from completely dominating the metagame by its mediocre Special Defense stat, double weakness to Fire, and dependence on the unreliable Gear Grind and Pin Missile. Despite those negatives, Scizor's positive traits and ability to check or counter threats such as Kyurem-B, Landorus-T, Mega Diancie, Terrakion, Latios, Weavile, Tyranitar, Excadrill, and Ursaring firmly cement its place as a Pokemon that all teams should consider.
