PvE Analysis
Recommended moves
- Bug Attacker:
Fury Cutter
X-Scissor - Steel Attacker:
Bullet Punch
Iron Head
Mega Scizor has stellar stats, making it a remarkable Mega Evolution, even though it’s not at the top of the Mega mountain.
It is also quite bulky, making it a complete package that will never disappoint you in battle. A well-rounded Pokémon! 🙂
💎 Scizor’s best moveset for PvE is Fury Cutter and X-Scissor or Bullet Punch and Iron Head.
⚔️ Raids
Give it X-Scissor and Iron Head as Charged Moves, and TM between Fury Cutter and Bullet Punch to get yourself a very serviceable Bug- and Steel-type attacker. 😁😁
🛡️ Gyms
Mega Evolutions can’t be placed in Gyms.
PvP Analysis
Mega Evolutions aren’t typically allowed in the GO Battle League, but in limited formats such as the Mega Master League, Mega Scizor can defeat the types it is expected to beat.
However, when compared to other Mega Evolutions in this format, Mega Scizor isn’t particularly impressive.
