How many people honestly use Scizor because they like it as a Pokemon?
Scizor's like BL or OU, I think. SD, Silver Wind, something here, something there. I forgot. But yeah, Scizor's good pomegranate. Too bad it gets raped by anything faster than it with high spe. att. <_< LOLGGSALA
@Kevo: It requires an arithmetic approach, because you're actually using a mathematical computations for figuring out how much damage you would do with an attack. Something no one would bother at attempting in non-competitive Pokemon. Also, you can't tell me LOLGLITCHANG here, because competitive-Pokemon stats such as EVs are actually within the game itself, and intended. Search on youtube for some NetBattle matches.
Also, it's online via PC, so you can't hack anything anyways. If they find out, you get banned from their server.
Put it this way:
Regular: Fire pokemon vs bug -> Fire pokemon uses fire-elemental attack -> It's super effective -> DEAD
Competitive: Fire Pokemon vs Bug Pokemon (both has proper EVs+natures distributed) -> Fire type uses Flamethrower, does x1.5 more because of STAB (same type attack boost), and the player is aware -> Bug type MANAGED TO SURVIVE. OH NOES, HOW?!?! He pumped all of his EVs onto Spe. Def because the player predicted this! -> The bug type pokemon survived with a SMALL MARGIN of HP, and finishes the fire-type off with Brick Break (let's use Hera as an example) -> Brick Break (Hera has 300 att total) with GUTS (and since Hera is burnt, multiplier is +50% for for his total attack stats) => Heracross attack is now 450 att, Hera attacks, Fire type dies.
Sorta hard to follow that, but you get the idea.
