So thinking about rebuilding one of my previous decks for one last run for HGSS format. Scizor Prime, whaddya say we give it one last go old friend? :redface:

Scizor Prime 3-3
Skarmory UD - 4
Klinklang BW 3-1-2
Dodrio UD 2-2
--- 20 Pokemon

Metal Energy - 6
Spec Metal - 4
--- 10 Energy

Dual Ball - 4
Poke Comm - 2
Ultra Ball - 2
Junk Arm - 3
Catcher - 2
Max Potion - 3
Switch - 2
Rare Candy - 2
PONT - 3
PETM - 2
N - 2
Super Rod - 1
Defender - 2
--- 30 Trainer / Supporter

Kick butt or die trying; that's probably what's gonna happen. Believe it or not this deck worked very well before the format got all Pro-Basic on us.
Anyway, start with Skarmory, Steel Coat your bench, set up Scizor asap (preferrably 2), Shift Gear between Pokemon with Klinklang, Max Potion if necessary, Bulk up (no pun intended) with Spec Metal Energy, Power up Scizor's Metal Scissors and cut away. Yeah... it seems like a lot but you'd be surprised. Scizor's "Red Armor" Poke Power prevents damage from Pokemon with Spec Energy attached. Shift Gear works in conjunction with Retreat Aid Dodrio in terms of Energy conservation and makes Max Potion easier to use and further tanking potential along with Defender.

Of course Scizor would STILL be smelted steel when Fire comes along.

The Era of Primes will soon come to an end. That is what, I think, makes this deck so noble.
Sentimental? Yes.
Overreactive? Perhaps.
Comments? Please.

As much as people play special energys, when they see skarmory your deck is hardly a secret, so the energy wont get played. Even without special energy I think most decks could still beat scizor,, He's a stage 1 and youll be lucky to be trading prizes with basics. his ability is good and his attack is OK but evolutions are not in format, and when they are scizor will not be.
 
wobbufet, you seem to forgeting Empoleon and the up and coming Garchomp + Altaria....this was supposed to be a last hurrah, nothing more.
 
garchomp and altaria will indeed be good but as Im sure you know they are not released, and till they are I think we can still count evolutions as out of format.
 
If you just want to play scizor I built a deck with him, exp share, tornadus ex, and mewtwo ex. It is very fun and good vs meta.
 
Now that I think about it klinklang and Dodrio are almost an early version of Darkrai Hydreigon in terms of Retreating and Energy movement. Dark Trance (Hydreigon's Ability) does with :dark: Energy that Klinklang does with :metal: Energy.
