If Scizor and Scyther have the exact same base stat total, why is Scizor used so much more, apart from the Mega?
Mar. 4, 2015I was surprised to find out, years ago, that Scizor and Scyther had the same BST. I only saw Scizor in OU competitive battling. Why is that? Can someone help me understand?

better typingSyther is weak to fire electric ice flyng, and has a dual weakness to rock (and with stealth rocks this is unacceptable) only resisting grass fighting and bug. Scizor is only weak to fire with 8 resistances and 1 immunity.
statsScizor sacrifices speed for defence and attack, perfect for a steel type.
move poolscizor has more moves in general, gaining access to bullet punch a priority move which works great with technician ability.
that is why everybody uses Scizor.
