Build Notes

Mega Scizor gains exceptional bulk and Technician boosts Bullet Punch to 60 BP. With Adamant maxed Attack after a Swords Dance, priority Steel STAB KOs nearly any weakened target. Rain halves Fire damage, reducing Mega Scizor's 4x Fire weakness to 2x and making Fire-type responses manageable. Swords Dance provides +2 Attack. U-turn pivots safely when sweeping isn't optimal. Protect allows safe turns during setup under Grimmsnarl's screens. Max HP and Attack. Rain and 8-turn screens from Light Clay make Swords Dance setup reliably survivable. Opponents face both halved Fire damage and dual screen protection simultaneously.
