The Scrubbiest of Hunters
Well I tended to use it with a fire move that hits everything on the field, then I find that the opponenet aims for the weak pokemon with a fast poskemon, that's when protect comes in to allow a second fire attack. Then comes the tatical switch of scizor to aerodactyl. There's even more to this idea but it's all to tatical and i'll need to find my prezentation on it.
So, ya use Lava Plume t' intentionally hurt your Scizor in hopes you can bait the foe t' attack it, wherein Protect blocks said attacks.
Terrible strategy is terrible... What if Scizor gets burned? You force it t' hold a Lum Berry for that occasion, which isn't a bad thing but then it can't use a Steel/Bug gem or somethin', hell even a Custap berry so that you can actually hit with that super-charged X-scissor (which still isn't strong as a Heracross' Megahorn). Scizor is the epitome of slow after all, what the hell would he outspeed after he uses Protect? Also, what if the foe uses a multi-target move to off Scizor and focuses on your other Poke instead? Only an amateur wouldn't if they have the option. If you're intentionally puttin' your Poke's HP down to zero, why the hell use double STAB X-scissor instead of an omnipotent Reversal from somethin' like Lucario? Why's it have t' be Lava Plume as well? Why not breed a Pokemon with a really low defense/special defense and hit it with a move that won't status it but still knock it down t' 1 HP, like Surf or Earthquake?
This presentation better be quite enlightening, 'cause I'm losin' faith in your claims of bein' the real 2nd best on GBU. :lol:
QUICK, GET THE THUNDERSTONES! ;_;
