In the Development Stage

Dont do Light Metal, its not worth it and means only Mega Scizor can be used which is terrible.

We need technician, just in case someone doesn't want to run the mega version. You double resist grass anyway.

I like endure/reversal for the last set (endure weakness policy is always an option with something that gets endure), and the first set looks fine. Night slash is a level up move, so take that off of there.

Scizor should have Counter/Quick Guard while Scyther Reversal and Endure. You'd really only use the latter 2 if you were fast while Scizor even with Adamant has the bulk to run both those 2 and differentiates them more. If you need help with any I have some of those EMs but both should have Defog+BP

But this requires work

So does this now look good? I'm just going to go with Blue's suggestion if no one objects.

So... Scyther needs metal coat to evolve... but its much more common than the 2 items I'm giving out (and would cause it to instantly evolve), so should I attach metal coat to Stunfisk and forego leftovers, or since you can just thief a metal coat pretty easily, just leave it as is?

I'd rather have Metal Coat on Stunfisk. I used my last one recently on my old not perfection Scyther and need my other for my Onix also Metal Coat is a good item for non-mega Scizor if you dont like Life Orb and want more power on BP if you already have one.

Chances are we already got tons of Leftovers anyways.

Please arrange for a cloner to collect your pokemon at your nearest convenience. We wanna keep things moving along! Thanks very much.
