Can we talk about Scizor?

I'm a little confused about builds; to be honest Scizor even last gen had a shitton of builds but this gen there's even more.

I'm still using an Adamant with max HP and the rest split between ATK and SPD, but now I'm seeing people use shit like Impish and fucking Brave of all things. My Scizor is my Mega too so I want to make sure I'm not missing out on anything. What builds are you guys using?

Smogon's server died or something so these stats are from February. The biggest change from then to now is that Defog is much more common.

Impish with some Speed is the way to go. It's a dedicated answer to Mega Metagross and you can't have it slow enough to be trapped by Magnezone.

People run SpDef on it too to be able to tank Focus Blast from Mega Zam, but a lot of people just put HP Fire on it anyway, same with Lele, so it's better to just focus on having the phys def and enough speed to outrun Specs Mag. Defog is good because people can often use Mega Metagross to pressure teams after laying hazards, although it removes Sciz as a win con. So it's your call if you have another hazard remover.

it's the best megagross answer and the most reliable defogger in the meta, but that's not saying much since all hazard removers are BAD

I personally don't like it since everything packs hp fire or some sort of fire coverage nowadays with all the steel spam but if you're looking for a bulky pivot that can defog, he's probably your best bet

I've been seeing people put like 16 Speed EVs to outspeed Marowak.

But Scizor should fucking never ever EVER stay in on Marowak, right?
>>
>>32322100
it's to u-turn away from magnezone, but getting some chip on alolawak isn't bad either
>>
So is there ANY use for Adamant this gen?

>>32322121
Answer me this, are you blind or just dumb as a sack of dirt?

Answer me this, are you ever going to lose your virginiy?

>>32322139
If I answer no, do you really think you're going to feel better about asking such a fucking braindead question when the stats were posted right in front of your fucking face?
