Thats the team atm

snowylizard-75

Scizzor does very well with friendguard mousehold

ironquiver-75 OP

So maybe take lopunny out for mousehold?

snowylizard-75

Why don’t you explain your team and we can go from there. Both mouse and bunny are normal types but they do sort of different things. Lopunny is a very offensive pokemon. With fake out, scrappy, you are hitting almost everything for neutral to SE damage. Mouse can be offensive with pop bomb but is not as offensive as lopunny. Can be a bulky support set with friend guard and follow me.

snowylizard-75

Scizzor is also an amazing pokemon but struggles against zard or any fire pokemon

snowylizard-75

So bascu and garchomp are good i would say

ironquiver-75 OP

so basically I was just looking to use scizor/chomp core to counter the zard/glim/ floette teams that are everywhere. Chomp also does okay into arch which has been pretty popular. I use whim as my set up/ disrupter, lopunny for fake out and heavy damage, basc for heavy damage/ speed priority, and armaroug was just a fun spicy pick that has a good match up into the giraffe and sneasler which are both annoying. Also has flame body for zards and torkoals, and has wide guard which nobody expects lol

ironquiver-75 OP

It also lives a sucker punch and can one shot gambit which is sick lol

ironquiver-75 OP

Its worked okay but I still struggle against teams that deal heavy special damage

snowylizard-75

Your team seems to deal with meta better than what am running tbh

snowylizard-75

😂 😂 😂

snowylizard-75

Anything speacial you are struggling with?

ironquiver-75 OP

Actually wait it wasn’t the special attack damage I was struggling with lol it was mostly mons that stop priority like the giraffe and tsarena. But then after they get speed control I struggle with the heavy special attack damage that comes after 😂 like blastoise, zard, and sylveon

ironquiver-75 OP

I know my teams has the counters, but maybe Im just playing the team bad? :zPokemonChampionsSad:

snowylizard-75

You have armour cannon for tsareena. If you are struggling with giraff, you might think or a taunt pokemon.

snowylizard-75

Giraff is very bulky and can be setup to actually take a kowtow easily. When I was playing giraff the main issues I faced was finches from rockslide or taunt from non prankster pokemon.

ironquiver-75 OP

So maybe taunt on wim and I can put encore back on lopunny? My main thing is I like the triple axel coverage on lopunny for dactyle :bulbahide:

snowylizard-75

Taunt on whim does not help you with prio blocking

ironquiver-75 OP

Oh yea you’re right

ironquiver-75 OP

Lemme see who on my team can learn taunt lol one sec

ironquiver-75 OP

Darn no good options for taunt. Who would you suggest running?

snowylizard-75

I am interested in a scizzor team too but today might be a bit difficult. Let me see if I can think of something tomorrow

ironquiver-75 OP

Okay sounds good! Thanks for the help :zPokemonChampionsCool:

royalcloud-73

Scizor is played basically the same way Lucario rain is played

royalcloud-73

Prio is fine but if you are unable to use it just work around it. If you cannot fake out or bullet punch the farig. Doubling into it with your faster Mon hopefully removing colbur berry and the slower one finishing it off has worked fine for me

royalcloud-73

I tend to use a faster Mon with knock off then kingambit kowtow to remove

ironquiver-75 OP

The problem I always face with this is that the giraffe usually leads a fake out user like blastoise or lopunny. The only mon I found that kits hard enough to one shot it through max bulk is adamant meowscarada

ironquiver-75 OP

With knock off

snowylizard-75

Max bulk is not the problem. Colbur berry is the problem. You need to double up

snowylizard-75

Tsareena learns knock off.
