Build Notes

Prankster gives both Reflect and Light Screen +1 priority. Both screens are guaranteed before any opponent can act. Light Clay extends screens to 8 turns rather than 5, providing significantly longer dual screen protection for Mega Scizor's setup window. Thunder Wave cripples fast targets with Prankster priority for lasting Speed reduction. Spirit Break lowers the target's Special Attack. Careful maxed HP and calibrated Defense and Special Defense creates a durable screen setter. The 8-turn screens are the defining feature. Mega Scizor has nearly twice the standard screen duration to safely Swords Dance and execute the sweep behind consistent protection.
