"Opinion: Scizor is one of the best designed Pokemon in all aspects: concept, aesthetics, and stats"

Since Scizor is coming back in the DLC, I just had to make a 5am rambling about my favorite metal boi. Scizor is obviously a fan favorite Pokemon, but I feel like it doesn't get enough credit considering how much gamefreak did a good job in designing this pokemon.The concept is simple: it's a Scyther that got covered in metal and from this came one of the most badass pokemon of all time. Just look at its design, It's an armored mantis with pincers that you obviously won't want to get close to. It's all red, and it's threatening. I actually like its design more than its Mega, I feel like the design of the Mega went way too overboard.And for the stats, probably disappointing at first but it doesn't get any stat increase upon evolving (the only pokemon to do so) but this is probably one of the most important aspect of Scizor's design: since it's a Scyther that got covered in metal, it got heavier and lost some speed in exchange for the metallic bulk and punch. Scizor is one of those unique Pokemon in which itself and its pre-evolution dons a different playstyle (such as PorygonZ and Porygon2) considering most middle line Pokemon in competitive just try to copy the final evolution while holding an eviolite (ahem, Chansey)Now some Pokemon get good design, good stats, sometimes both, but gets let down by middling a movepool and ways to execute those pros (Serperior, if it wasn't for that godforsaken ability), but not for Scizor. It's got everything it needs to be a competitive menace and although the power creep made its life harder, it's still the GOAT in where it resides (UU last gen).Get it? Scizor is COOL and it will punch your fairies in the face before they make a move. Gamefreak really did a good job at conceptualizing this pokemon and executing it. This might be a popular opinion, but I just had to say itEDIT: grammar via /r/pokemon https://ift.tt/37JzPWE
