Well Skarm is a very defensive poke. If you require more of an offensive punch into your team, then scizor is a great choice. Here is an extremely common moveset for you to use.

The answer is completely up to you. Hope this helped!
Skarmory is more of a support pokemon. He can set up stealth rocks or use tailwind both of which give u an advantage in a battle. Skarmory also gets roar to scare away all pokemon trying to set up on you. Scizor is use mostly for its raw power. his bullet punch is a great priority attack that gets a tachnician boost and a STAB boost. HE also gets STAB U-Turn or X-Scissor.After a single swords dance his bullet punch is an attack that can potentially sweep a team.
