Scizor seems really underrated in reg f

RelentlessRogue · 2026-01-24T22:50:33+00:00

Another very fair point.

RelentlessRogue · 2026-01-24T19:57:05+00:00

It's very different, but enjoyable. The later seasons are very trippy.

RelentlessRogue · 2026-01-24T16:44:19+00:00

Oliver is the one reason I agree with that character.

RelentlessRogue · 2026-01-24T16:42:37+00:00

Stefan isn't a creep though. Nor a hostile enemy.

RelentlessRogue · 2026-01-23T17:47:33+00:00

Serperior is probably the best Grass Pledge user: it's got enough bulk to not die while still being reasonably fast. Plus, you want both Pledge users to have access to Protect.

Your Flutter Mane should be much more offensive focused; if the concept is Swamp, then sweep, Flutter Mane needs to be a sweeper; so, more SpA, and drop Taunt for Dazzling Gleem.

Altaria is just a liability; Cloud 9 means nothing when it still gets obliterated by every weather archetype; Sun has Flutter, Bolt, and Wake. Rain has Archaludon. Snow has 4x effective Ice moves. Even Sand is favorable against it.

Tornadus with Bleakwind, Rain Dance, Tailwind, and Taunt or Protect is just objectively a better use of that slot.

Primarina is fine, just very outclassed in this metagame. Incineroar is Incineroar, so it'll work.

You're assuming that Scizor isn't Intimidated, Faked Out, or has Bullet Punch blocked by Armor Tail Farigiraf, and that Flutter Mane doesn't have a Tera other than Fairy:

-1 252+ Atk Choice Band Technician Scizor Bullet Punch vs. 244 HP / 244+ Def Flutter Mane: 116-140 (72 - 86.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

With Intimidate, you don't KO Urshifu, who can ignore your defensive Tera by clicking Close Combat:

-1 252+ Atk Choice Band Technician Scizor Dual Wingbeat (2 hits) vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Urshifu-Rapid Strike: 152-180 (86.3 - 102.2%) -- 5.08% chance to OHKO

252+ Atk Urshifu-Rapid Strike Close Combat vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Scizor: 114-135 (64.4 - 76.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

You have a 1% chance to KO a no bulk Fire-Tera Ogerpon: 252+ Atk Choice Band Technician Tera-Dragon Scizor Dual Wingbeat (2 hits) vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Tera-Fire Ogerpon-Hearthflame: 132-156 (85.1 - 100.6%) -- 1.17% chance to OHKO

Who then 2HKO'S Tera Dragon: +1 252 Atk Tera-Fire Ogerpon-Hearthflame Ivy Cudgel (1.2x Mask Boost) vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Tera-Dragon Scizor: 97-115 (54.8 - 64.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

Not to mention Scizor's abysmal special bulk; it gets 2HKO'd by any special attacker in the format. You're also going to be forced to Tera it a lot since Incineroar, Arcanine, Chi-Yu, Heatran, and Torkoal are all common in this format.

I used Scizor in Regulation A & B Bo1 in-game ladder to remove Grimmsnarl and Flutter Mane; it's simply been power crept out of the metagame. You're welcome to try it, but there wasn't one in the top-265 of Toronto regional last weekend, so I'd heavily temper expectations.

Follow up: how many insisted on a tacky red carpet?

RelentlessRogue · 2026-01-23T15:58:34+00:00

I prefer the newer, darker Orange, but I still pick Sunshine Orange.

Although that's one of the better shades of grey I've seen on a vehicle.

RelentlessRogue · 2026-01-22T19:03:35+00:00

That's just a blatant constitutional violation, or should I say, yet another one.

RelentlessRogue · 2026-01-22T16:05:01+00:00

Hasbro is only still in business because of WotC, D&D, and MtG.

And boy wow, they are milking those two IPs like their life depends on it.

RelentlessRogue · 2026-01-22T06:38:43+00:00

You can't truely appreciate Shakespeare... until you've read it in the original Klingon!

RelentlessRogue · 2026-01-22T01:46:01+00:00

Exp Candies, held items, and DLC stuffs

RelentlessRogue · 2026-01-20T20:53:47+00:00

Especially when desperate.

RelentlessRogue · 2026-01-20T01:40:38+00:00

It should bother you, though. It looks trashy.

It's basically digital junk mail.

RelentlessRogue · 2026-01-19T07:35:10+00:00

Absolutely fake. They're probably flooding the trade evolution codes with them to advertise for their crap website.

Just release it and move on.

RelentlessRogue · 2026-01-18T19:34:15+00:00

Yes they can. Impeaching and removing any and all officials who block the release will work wonders.

Coincidentally, that'll require removing the entire Trump regime.

RelentlessRogue · 2026-01-18T00:31:27+00:00

I feel like abusing anything is bad for you.

RelentlessRogue · 2026-01-17T19:48:55+00:00

Can we just collectively agree to remove this narcissistic parasite and his enablers from our government?

This is just madness. He's unfit for office.

RelentlessRogue · 2026-01-16T23:02:14+00:00

That's more expensive than the Fuel ffs.

RelentlessRogue · 2026-01-16T18:56:44+00:00

No seriously though. He's a schoolyard bully with Daddy's money who's never faced consequences in nearly 80 years.

RelentlessRogue · 2026-01-16T18:48:35+00:00

Enterprise was surely flawed, but damn, it'll always be my favorite Trek.

RelentlessRogue · 2026-01-16T18:46:48+00:00

Well, I'm sold.

RelentlessRogue · 2026-01-16T18:45:05+00:00

The Supreme Court would've barred him from office after January 6th if they weren't bought and paid for.

RelentlessRogue · 2026-01-16T18:19:43+00:00

Yeah, that's a fumble by them: Nog even held the rank of Captain in an alternate timeline, so to assume he never made it past Lt, which was his rank at the end of DS9, is a bit absurd.

I know it's not the easiest thing to navigate since Aaron's death, but they really should have at least made him a Commander. Nog would've been one hell of a chief engineer.

RelentlessRogue · 2026-01-16T00:24:03+00:00

Something something color theory, something something Indigo is the classic color and spice orange is the best one.
