With Swords Dance, Scizor serves as a deadly wallbreaker and revenge killer for offensive teams. Close Combat is crucial to 2HKO defensive Rotom-W and defensive Great Tusk, as well as blow through Steel-types such as Kingambit, Orthworm, and Iron Treads. Tera Blast paired with Tera Electric has a good chance to 2HKO Dondozo and can OHKO Toxapex, Alomomola, Corviknight, and offensive Gholdengo after a Swords Dance. Tera Electric also removes Scizor's Fire weakness, improving its matchup against Volcarona and Iron Moth, and grants it crucial resistances to Roaring Moon's Acrobatics and Iron Valiant's Thunderbolt. Alternatively, Quick Attack with Tera Normal gives Scizor a tool to pick off offensive Pokemon that resist Bullet Punch, such as Volcarona, Quaquaval, and Greninja. 180 Speed EVs allows Scizor to outspeed defensive Great Tusk and Rotom-W, while 76 HP EVs improve its bulk enough to survive Tera Flying Acrobatics from Roaring Moon.

Scizor is best utilized on fast, offensive teams that appreciate its ability to wear down common defensive cores and keep opposing sweepers such as Roaring Moon, Baxcalibur, and Booster Energy Iron Valiant in check. Glimmora, Garganacl, Clodsire, and Great Tusk can set entry hazards to help chip Pokemon like Garchomp and defensive Gholdengo into range of Scizor's attacks. Grimmsnarl and Orthworm can ease Scizor's sweep by setting up screens and passing it a Substitute through Shed Tail, respectively, and appreciate falling back on Scizor to handle threats such as Iron Valiant. Special attackers like Iron Moth, Gholdengo, Greninja, and Iron Valiant can deal with the physical walls that check Scizor, such as Dondozo, Skeledirge, and Great Tusk. Scizor's ability to lure Dondozo and take it out with Tera Blast makes it an excellent partner for other physical sweepers that struggle with it, such as Dragonite, Kingambit, and Baxcalibur. Conversely, Breloom is an excellent partner for Quick Attack Scizor that handles Dondozo and appreciates Scizor keeping Volcarona, Iron Moth, and Dragapult in check.

With Swords Dance, Scizor serves as a deadly wallbreaker and revenge killer for offensive teams. Close Combat is crucial to 2HKO Great Tusk I'd specify Physically Defensive Tusk here, since Bullet Punch also 2KOs at +2 and blow through Steel-types such as Kingambit, Orthworm, and Iron Treads. Tera Blast with Tera Electric has a good chance to 2HKO Dondozo and can OHKO Toxapex, Alomomola, Corviknight, and offensive Gholdengo at +2. Alternatively, Quick Attack with Tera Normal gives Scizor a tool to pick off offensive Pokemon that resist Bullet Punch, such as Volcarona, Quaquaval, and Greninja. 180 Speed EVs allows Scizor to outspeed defensive Great Tusk and Rotom-W, while 76 HP improves its bulk enough to survive Tera Flying Acrobatics from Roaring Moon.

Scizor is best utilized on fast-paced offensive teams that appreciate its ability to wear down common defensive cores and keep opposing sweepers in check. Glimmora, Toedscruel, Other options like Garg (especially EQ sets to hit Gholdengo) and Clodsire are more relevant and Meowscarada can set hazards to help chip Pokemon like Garchomp and defensive Gholdengo into range of Scizor's attacks. Grimmsnarl is a strong partner that can set up screens to ease Scizor's setup. Similarly, Orthworm can pass Scizor a Substitute to give it a free opportunity to begin a sweep. Both of these are true, yes, but that goes for virtually every sweeper. Is there anything, for example, that Scizor brings that makes either of them two particularly good partners? Special attackers like Iron Moth, Gholdengo, Greninja, and Iron Valiant can deal with the physical walls that check Scizor, such as Dondozo, Skeledirge, and Great Tusk. Scizor's ability to lure Dondozo with Tera Blast makes it an excellent partner for other physical sweepers that struggle with it, such as Dragonite, Kingambit, and Baxcalibur. Conversely, Breloom is an excellent partner for Quick Attack Scizor that handles Dondozo and appreciates Scizor keeping Volcarona, Iron Moth, and Dragapult in check.

Glimmora, Garganacl, Clodsire, and Great Tusk Meowscarada More personal preference here, but there are far better examples of hazard setters than lead Meowscarada can set hazards to help chip Pokemon like Garchomp and defensive Gholdengo into range of Scizor's attacks.
