Because Scizor is a Bug and Steel-type Pokémon, most of its most powerful moves will also be Bug and Steel-type. This is because of the S.T.A.B. (Same Type Attack Bonus) which will give bonus damage to moves that match a Pokémon's typing. Scizor's best moves are Close Combat, Iron Head, X-Scissor, and Air Slash.

How to use Scizor best in battle

Scizor is a Steel and Bug-type Pokémon. Players should keep in mind this Pokémon's weaknesses and resistances when using it in battle.

Steel-type Pokémon are vulnerable to Fire, Ground, and Fighting-type attacks. Steel-type attacks will be super effective against Ice, Rock, and Fairy-type Pokémon.

Bug-type Pokémon will take increased damage from Fire, Rock, and Flying-type attacks. Bug-type attacks will be super effective against Grass, Psychic, and Dark-type Pokémon.
