Scolipede- Incredibly fast- Decent Attack of 90- Venipede can be found very early- Whirlipede evolves somewhat quickly- Learns moves like Megahorn, Poison Tail, Toxic, and Strength- Frail- Poor movepool and no good Bug STAB without a Heart Scale- Bug/Poison is weak to four types and is a redundant offensive type
If you have the tools to get Escavalier, then it’s better both offensively and defensively. Scolipede is better if you want a faster Pokemon, but it’s a bit weaker and slightly inconvenient to get STAB for. I’ll give a set for each:
Escavalier @ Muscle Band / SilverPowderAbility: Swarm- Iron Head- X-Scissor- Slash / Headbutt- False Swipe / Swords Dance / Reversal
Scolipede @ SilverPowder / Poison BarbAbility: Swarm- Megahorn- Poison Tail- Toxic- Strength / Double-Edge
