Anyone who thinks Scizor isn't a dominant force in the game probably has never seen one.
My two favorite sets are Band and bulky SD (see below). I understand boosting is hard in VGC but I assume the Banded set is still pretty viable - what other sets work well in VGC? Is it more of a beatdown Poke or can it fit on weather or even TR teams? What about a Roost + 3 attacks set?
Technician STAB Priority - i.e. a Bullet Punch that's as powerful as a Meteor Mash - is just so ridiculous in Singles already, I can't imagine it being overlooked in VGC.
