Scizor

Scizor is not the fastest user of Defog and Steel Beam; it therefore should only be used as an additional self-2HKOing Defogger to get past opposing Gholdengo. Scizor's access to Baton Pass to pivot out of bad match-ups does help differentiate itself from the actual fastest user of Defog and Steel Beam, Corviknight. However, speed tying with the dangerous trapper Gothitelle instead of outspeeding it hurts. Tailwind can be used instead as speed control team support. Knock Off can be used to disrupt overly hasty Imprison-Steel Beam users. Tera Ghost Curse can also be used to punish them, and Scizor can even use Mental Herb with that move. Scizor should be Jolly to makes its Steel Beam as weak as possible. 6 HP IVs make Scizor's max. HP divisible by 8 so it can more easily use Substitute into Steel Beam to self-2HKO. Tera Dark lets Scizor dodge Pranksters. while Tera Ghost enables Ghost Curse and lets it escape trappers, and Tera Ice makes it weak to both Steel Beam and Stealth Rock.
