I know Dialga kills this deck, but with the addition of goodies like Jirachi(RR) and Volkner's Philosphy can this deck be fast enough to reach at least tier 2?

I thought about that, but Jirachi RR has a Power, and if they don't take it out, you're in trouble. Volkner's will be a good addition, for sure.
 
Well thats partially true. If they font knock it out I can just retreat it after I set up a Scizor

I just like Jirachi b/c he allows me to re-use supporters (and 1/3 0f the deck is supporters)
 
No, I mean you need him off the field for Scizor to work. His Poke-Power makes Scizor's attack useless. If you run him, I would also run some Super Scoop Ups.
 
I've tried a lot of Scizor variants, I think it's a good card but is soo inconsistent. I made Scizor/Cherrim and it eventually just developed into Vespiqueen/Cherrim. I think there's better alternatives than Scizor, but if you're still determined to use it... try it with Unown R. It adds drawpower and gets rid of itself, so you it's never out at the end of your turn. Can be used with 3 or 4 Pokemon rescue and optionally some TSDs.

Scizor still has next to an auto-loss with Dialga G... no bodies, no trainers, and you can't really play Unown R's in case of being power sprayed (So it'd be best just to leave them in your hand except maybe on a turn you're gonna Accelerate anyways just so you can get rid of power sprays). Pretty much any SP deck poses the power spray threat. Scizor's a good card, just in the wrong format. I think the only GOOD match-ups it has is against Machamp and AbomTric.

Life herb is a no.

I want Scizor to have damge so if body stays active. If I remove it there's a chance they can one shot me (I'm looking at you Macheap lvl X :nonono:)

I dont like pokeblower b/c I dont have a way to draw them consistently.

Back to back posts merged. The following information has been added:

Thats what I want to know. Is Scizor/Cherrim (Post-RR) fast enough to outpace Dialga thanks to Volkner's and Jirachi (and Miasma Valley)? I want to say yes , but I'm going to have to test it first

In theory, Scizor is good against Machamp, but if they get out Machamp X he just one shots my scizors :nonono:

I honestly think Scizor/Shaymin is much better than Scizor/Cherrim. You can use PlusPower, or Buck's, to increase your damage to KO with Accelerate, so you have a lot of defensive ability between Accelerate, Gratitude, and Honeycomb Defender.

But I think Cherrim's stackable power works in long run. Comboed wuth Miasma Valley its make it ALOT easier to OHKO most things. Shymins too slow IMHO.
 
Dude if you want to run scizor, it pretty much has to be with Shaymin for it to be an awesome deck. This allows you to abuse the pokebody of Scizor, which is really amazing without Dialga G around to ruin it.
