Mega Scizor achieves 11.19% usage at 1760 (rank 16), placing it in the top tier of singles — Smogon A-tier. Post-Mega, Technician-boosted Bullet Punch reaches 90 effective power backed by elite Attack, making it a premier priority cleaner. Roost enables flexible play between offensive and bulky roles. Multiple player reports specifically cite it as the dedicated counter to Umbreon + Bisharp + Gengar + Florges team cores.
Playstyle：Standard sets use Scizorite, Adamant, max Attack/HP EVs: Bullet Punch (24.6%) / Swords Dance (22.8%) / Roost (15.6%) / Knock Off (14%) / Close Combat (12.2%). The primary game plan is setting up Swords Dance then cleaning with Bullet Punch priority; Roost (15.6%) enables survivability against bulkier teams. The community-noted Bug Bite variant pairs with Mega Gengar for a coordinated dismantling of Umbreon + Bisharp cores — explicitly cited in multiple player reports. Common partners: Garchomp (13.3%), Primarina (6.1%), Corviknight (3.2%).
Mega Scizor achieves 3.6% usage in doubles (rank 38), a meaningful top-tier doubles presence with a 0.504 win rate. Bullet Punch priority, Protect for tempo control, and Bug Bite sustain allow it to consistently contribute in fast-paced doubles. It frequently pairs with Basculegion (10.3%), Pelipper (7.9%), and Incineroar (7.4%) in rain/Intimidate synergy teams. GameWith doubles tier B reflects its slightly reduced impact compared to singles.
Playstyle：Doubles sets are Adamant, max Attack/HP, Scizorite (100% Mega). Core moves split almost evenly: Bullet Punch (25%) / Protect (23.9%) / Bug Bite (19.8%) / Swords Dance (19.8%) — indicating highly flexible protect-attack cycling. Post-Swords Dance Bullet Punch cleans most non-bulky targets; Bug Bite's drain maintains HP through unfavorable chip exchanges. Key partners: Incineroar (7.4%) for Intimidate, Pelipper (7.9%) for Rain to reduce Fire damage, Sinistcha (7.7%) for Rage Powder redirection.
Scizor holds a 2.76% usage rate at the 1760+ ladder (rank 47), making it one of the most-used non-Mega Bug/Steel attackers in Singles. Technician-boosted Bullet Punch provides powerful priority, and Swords Dance turns it into a breaker. With 32 Top 300 ladder appearances and 141 tournament entries, it has extensive competitive backing. Top-rank commentary repeatedly identifies it as the answer to Gengar, Mimikyu, and the Umbreon + Garchomp core.
Playstyle：The standard set pairs Adamant nature with Metal Coat (62%), focusing entirely on Attack EVs (30/30 splits dominate). Core moves are Bullet Punch (25%), Swords Dance (21.7%), Close Combat (19.2%), and Knock Off (15.3%), building a two-stage game plan: set up with Swords Dance, then clean with priority Bullet Punch. Top players use Bug Bite Scizor alongside Mega Gengar to dismantle the Umbreon + Garchomp core via Bug Bite + Shadow Ball sequences. It also appears as a targeted pick against Gengar and Mimikyu, and partners with Basculegion or Meowscarada as a dual attacker core. Technician ensures Bullet Punch (base 40 × 1.5 = 60) punches well above its weight.
Scizor posts a 1.49% usage rate in the 1760+ Doubles ladder (rank 61), with a win rate around 50.1%. Its primary role is a priority attacker and utility cleaner: Bullet Punch threatens slower targets reliably, and Bug Bite strips important held items. GameWith rates it B-tier in Doubles. Top players deploy it as a counter to the Umbreon + Garchomp + Gengar + Florges core, using Bug Bite sequences to dismantle defensive layers.
Playstyle：In Doubles, Adamant nature with Metal Coat (61.6%) remains standard, but Sitrus Berry (28.1%) rises to second as an emergency survival item. Move distribution: Bullet Punch (25%), Protect (19.1%), Bug Bite (12.9%), Swords Dance (11.9%), Close Combat (11.1%), Feint (4.3%). Protect's strong 19.1% presence is a Doubles-specific adjustment to create safe switch windows. Top teammates are Garchomp (6.8%), Sinistcha (5.8%), Incineroar (5.8%), and Charizard-Mega-Y (5.3%). Sinistcha recovers Scizor's HP via Pollen Puff, Incineroar provides field control, and Mega Charizard Y removes Steel and Poison counters. Top commentary states Bug Bite Scizor combined with Mega Gengar's Shadow Ball sequences 'directly dismantles the Umbreon + Garchomp core.'
