In-Depth Analysis
Scizor totals 500 across its base stats, profiling as a slow bruiser that trades speed for raw hitting power. Lean on its Attack (130) when planning sets, and cover for its weaker Special Attack (55).
Its Bug, Steel typing leaves Scizor with 1 weakness against 8 resistances and 1 full immunity. Watch out for Fire moves in particular — they land for 4× damage. On offense, its STAB moves threaten 6 types for super-effective damage.
A low catch rate of 25 makes Scizor a genuinely tough catch; bring strong balls and status moves. It levels on the Medium experience curve. Defeating it grants Attack +2 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
