The iron bug demolishes UU! With Swords Dance and Bullet Punch, Scizor is a fantastic sweeper and revenge killer, being able to deal with threats such as Weavile, Ogerpon-C, and weakened Hoopa-U. Knock Off hits Slowking and Skeledirge and removes items such as Heavy-Duty Boots from Mandibuzz and Hydrapple. Close Combat nails Cobalion, Heatran, and Excadrill. Alternatively, Quick Attack can be used as an additional priority move for Rotom-W, Quaquaval, and Greninja. Tera fire gives Scizor a Fire resistance as well as an immunity to burns from Skeledirge, Mew, and Heatran. Scizor appreciates entry hazards to wear down checks such as Rotom-W and Greninja, so setters like Excadrill and Mew can help by setting hazards and preventing opposing entry hazards with Rapid Spin and Taunt to keep Scizor healthier. Rotom-W is a great teammate on Bulky Offense teams, being able to bring Scizor in on Hydrapple and Latios and check Heatran for it. Scizor forms a great offensive core with Weavile and Greninja, as these teammates can wear down Scizor's checks such as Heatran, opposing Greninja, and Rotom-W. Other teammates such as Quaquaval and Nasty Plot Tornadus-T can use Heatran and Lokix to set up after they revenge kill Scizor.
