Black and White recent happenings thread!

Mm, I dunno. Most of the competetive Ferrothorns I've faced got OHKO'd by a single Bug Bite after 3 swords dances. 2 swords dances should 2 HKO Ferrothorn. I run Adamant Scizor with Bug Bite, Morning Sun, Swords Dance, and Agility. The threats would be a fire type move after Ferrothorn, or a fast special sweeper. If Scizor is not paralyzed he will sweep the opposing team if he opted to use 2 swords dances and 1 agility at the very least. Heck 2 swords dances OHKO's a Blissey. If you're scared about being revenged killed, then switch it out and use heal bell to save it from being paralyzed. Or Morning Sun/Roost the damage received from Ferrothorn and he can't be revenge killed unless by some fire move.

Obviously there are different situations you'll be in and nothing is ideal. However, usually this Scizor will win every time against a Ferrothorn, but it can be easily wiped out or forced to switch if there is a fire move or special sweeper threatening it. If you have the sun out, Morning Sun heals 3/4 of the hp and lowers the special att for opposing water moves. The other option is Roost. Roost heals half, which is pretty decent too. It's pretty effective for Scizor's survivability I'd say :/

To be honest, Scizor probably 2hkos or 1hkos everything after 2 Swords Dance, but Ferrothorn should theoretically win.

Turn of Events

Scizor uses Swords Dance!
Ferrothorn uses Leech Seed! (Scizor has 7/8 hp).

Scizor uses Swords Dance!
Ferrothorn uses Thunder Wave! (Scizor has 6/8 hp).

Scizor uses Bug Bite!
Ferrothorn uses Protect! (Scizor has 5/8 hp).

Scizor uses Bug Bite!
Ferrothorn uses *Insert Move of choice Here* (Scizor has 3.5/8 hp, Ferrothorn has 1/2 hp)

Scizor is paralyzed!
Ferrothorn uses Protect! It failed! (Scizor has 2.5/8 hp, Ferrothorn has 5/8 hp)

Scizor uses Bug Bite!
Ferrothorn uses Protect (100% works, and Scizor has 1.5/8 hp, Ferrothorn has 6/8 hp)

Scizor uses Bug Bite!
Ferrothorn uses *Insert Move of choice.* Ferrothorn has 3.5/8 hp, Scizor is dead.

Keep in mind this is without leftovers, and with leftovers it would mean that Ferrothorn would have 5.5/8 hp in the end and I was pretty generous to the fact paralysis only struck once. If you try to to set up more Scizor may be even more screwed (or lucky, perhaps).

Heck, I didn't even factor in Ferrothorn's Iron Barbs.
