Mega Scizor & Dragonite VGC Team Building Guide

Summary

The Pokémon Champions | VGC Battles & Tournaments community dives into optimizing a Mega Scizor and Dragonite team. This discussion explores replacing Kingambit with effective spread attackers like Sylveon or Kommo-o, while evaluating meta-relevant counters for Basculegion and Yarde. Members also analyze the viability of Lycanroc and Krookodile as strategic additions to refine competitive team balance.

I actually have a mega dragonite scissor team that you can use for reference if you want

cleverinbox-49

I'd say kingambit seems a bit odd here

happycandle-57 OP

Why? I’ve been using it to beat basc

cleverinbox-49

Well its typing is just a bit odd

cleverinbox-49

You alr have a steel type and a dark type and you don't need kingambit to defeat basc

Hatterene but you have to be kinda insane if you aint using hard tr, scarf gardevoir if you are completely mentally insane, primarina but that uses water as its spread move, farig who is arguably better here but just doesn't hit hard, garchomp and mamoswine, both of who hit hard but 4 physical attackers isn't balanced, kommo but at that point just use perish, and like 100 others but I have probably forgotten abt them

Kommo o could be fun

happycandle-57 OP

I need a better check for yard tho

cleverinbox-49

Ahhh

cleverinbox-49

Then use a rock attacker like aero or lycanroc

cleverinbox-49

And yes lycanroc is actually viable, 3 different like top 16 teams in the turin champions that just concluded used it

I think Lycanroc and Sneasler have a good synergy together

tidylizard-43

Lycanroc hits Charizard, Delphox, Froslass and Dragonite super hard and fast, while Sneasler Tyranitar and Floette

tidylizard-43

Basically all the meta megas
