Beware the wrath of this steely bug in NatDex OU! Mega Scizor takes on an offensive role, utilizing Sand Tomb to lure and threaten some of its more common switch-ins like Heatran, Magnezone, and Toxapex. The given Speed EVs allows it to outspeed variants of the former two, which especially helps against Magnezone, as it can otherwise trap and OHKO Mega Scizor easily. Bullet Punch + Sand Tomb makes for a deadly combo, while Roost lets Mega Scizor retain its role as a decent check to popular threats like Tapu Lele and Kyurem, albeit not as well as bulkier sets. Choice Scarf Landorus-T, Weavile, and Tapu Koko prove to be useful teammates to revenge kill and keep pressure up against these dangerous foes. Mega Scizor also has a hard time keeping up with some sweepers like Bulk Up Corviknight and Swords Dance Kartana, and so appreciates Choice Scarf Magnezone as a partner to trap and OHKO both. Toxapex, Rotom-W, and Gliscor are also appreciated as teammates to take on Fire-types like Volcarona, Victini, and Heatran. Serperior, Volcarona, and Clefable also enjoy the company of Sand Tomb Mega Scizor because it lures and neutralizes Heatran and Toxapex.
