I guess I'm just...stunned/flabbergasted you're using a Scizor with only 1 attacking move, and there's not even a Baton Pass in there to boot. In the ideal ideal situation, someone would immediately switch Ferrothorn out as soon as you Swords Dance, as they'll be scared that you have Brick Break or something to destroy Ferrothorn. When I say Ferrothorn eats Scizor from breakfast (that's what started this arguement), I meant like, most Scizors. Not Scizors that rely on sheer setup and stalling to kill Ferrothorn. I mean either the Choice Band set (bar a fighting move) and the standard Swords Dance set (Roost/Swords Dance/Bullet Punch/Bug Bite).
That's understandable. I just thought you meant Scizor in general initially. I use Scizor for late game anyways rather than early on. I used to run Bug Bite, Swords Dance, Agility, and Baton Pass. I couldn't fit Roost/Morning Sun on that set anywhere, because if I did I would lose speed or attack from setting up depending on which move I sacrificed. I soon found that I was doing well, but my Scizor had horrible survivability without a recovery move. Thus, I decided to change it up. Sorry for the argument though.
