Nice job to these players, but you made a small booboo regarding VGC. When you discussed how Scizor couldn’t cut it in 2017, you showed Mega Scizor, which is incorrect since Mega Stones were banned in 2017. Just thought I’d let you know. Great video regardless!
Mewtwo need not be remade. The legacy of it being released on World Cup Final day can't be beaten. Plus that intro. If it weren't the subject of an April fools joke it wouldn't have worked the same way
I have it playing in the background and because Gen2 and 3 were so short, being at the 10 minute mark for and still talking Gen4 was surprising haha Let’s hope for a Galarian version
@@dr.anitamahapatra1590 landorus has 2 forms 1 that gets banned every gen and one that's the best glue mon in ou history and vgc history. So it'll be a long video
One of the best designs that Game Freak has done, I mean, this thing looks awesome and is just amazing in competitive. One of the best Pokémon ever in both sides of the spectrum.
RandalfElVikingo That’s true it’s just odd to me that only 2 evolve with this item like kings rock! I do love how the stones add a few more Pokémon every now and then
I think evolving by being traded with an item is annoying. Trade evolutions are already annoying cuz you need to find someone to connect with, but trade evolutions that also need a certain item that may or may not be easy to find? Ugh!
28:37 "Scizor still saw some scattered success" I'd like to just take a moment to appreciate the alliteration here okay that'll do carry on with your day thanks
@@nomongosinthaworld Rosedade is a really good special attacker though. Magical leaf and Mega Drain get good boosts, though Giga Drain is still better than Mega Drain.
Update for how Scizor is in current gen 9: Incredible. Imagine adaptability technician Scizor without the weaknesses of bug type while still having stab U-turn. That's what Scizor has right now, it's easily one of the best terra mons in the game. You terra steel and if your running adamant choice band, your bullet punch literally does minimums of roughly 80% to neutral targets, and just kills after rocks and spikes. Oh and don't even get me started on if you get an SD up, game over.
@@stealthy9156 its actually an excellent typing with only one weakness and alotta resistances, and steel and bug correlate each other very well patching up their fighting, ground, rock and flying wekanesses.
Update: Scizor is currently TEARING up the UU meta, sitting at S tier with Keldeo, running bulky offsensive, swords dance life orb sets, and choice band sets
What it means is that now I have a new solid contender for "most useless thing I know". The current champion is that in Borderlands 2, there is an unobtainable prefix for Jakobs pistols called "pepperbox". These weapons have increased rate of fire but low stats otherwise. But since all Jakobs pistols are semi-auto, the written rate of fire on the item card is almost meaningless, and you can get a Jakobs pistol with a rate of fire above the highest the game's engine can handle anyway, without the "pepperbox" prefix. So even if you hacked one in, it would be clearly outclassed by every similar gun in the game.
Scizor looks like an armored robot bug designed for warfare. From its armor's menacing red color scheme (red is often symbolized for war), its pincers designed to both scare and seriously hurt its opponents, to its wings giving it some flight capabilities, yet often used for cooling purposes. It's Mega Evolution jacked up Scizor's combat prowess: its pincers looked like mini gators (eye-like hinge and serrated jaws), an intimidating armor upgrade, and blade-like legs. Seriously, Scizor always looks like it's going to the front lines.
@@masonguyman3074 Genesect will be the war bug that nukes the battlefield with their cannons. Scizor is the war bug that will go up close and personal on the battlefield, snapping its sharp pincers at anything that dares come close to it. Now that I think about it, Scizor's red paint scheme could come from the blood of its slaughtered opponents.
@@lionsfinest9319 What's wrong with him? His mixed defenses are bulky as heck and he has high Attack and access to one of the most coveted moves ever, Mega Fricking Horn. Ok, that last part is a joke but still.
I'll always love Scizor, Scyther was the first shiny Pokemon I ever caught and it was in HeartGold at the national park. I was lucky enough to get him with an adamant nature, technician as his ability as well as a perfect attack IV (I found out much later) I've transferred him up from each generation up until Omega Ruby, the last Pokemon game I've owned and I've used him on every team I've made. Loved the video, Scizor always holds a very special place to me in my heart.
Me too. I caught Scyther in Crystal in a Bug catching Contest. I learned it good moves. But the metal Coat is a pain for me, trying to get Magnemite with Metal Coat but it doesn't have the coat. So I waited until when I board the S.S Anne. Finally I traded with myself with two GBCs and bam. I got Scizor.
That's amazingly lucky. Always nice when your shiny is also viable. My favorite shiny is my Adamant 30 attack IV metagross from pokemon ruby. I still use it for the battle frontier.
Imagine Scizor being a scissor that's a bug. Edit: Now imagine Scizor as a bug with chainsaws on it hands and using Fury Cutter on a wild Pokemon. This got dark.
@@Seetiyan Sure, but he obviously doesn't mean anything by it. Imagine how much longer this video would be if he had to apologize every time he mentioned someone's name.
0:50 It's like an Armaldo/Bisharp archetype that functions consistently, Imagine if Bisharp got technician and Bullet Punch/Mach Punch and Armaldo Accelerock/First impresion
I love how Wolfe Glick and Aaron Zheng either appears or gets mentioned in many FSG vids when talking about innovative VGC strats. Can't deny credit to talented people.
It’s something about that race car red that has made Scizor one of my favorite Pokémon for a long time. It just *screams* cool, original Pokémon design
I love seeing Scizor's versatility throughout its competitive lifetime. It goes though different EV spreads to adapt, maintains a customizable spread of moves, and can use multiple Gems and Z-Crystals effectively. It was even amazing to see it stack Quick Attack on top of Bullet Punch in Gen 7 UU as a decent option.
False swipe gaming: I don't want o long intro i'm sure you've already seen how long the video is Me: checks video lenght Also me: Wait imma get some popcorn
Oh damn, I've been watching these videos since 2017 and I finally made it into one 😂 (Michael Shaw - 10th at Orlando, 2014) I also used the same Scizor to make T16 at Georgia a few months later mainly as a check to Mamoswine, since I was also running Salamence and Garchomp
@Juan Gomez Gyarados began its reign of intimidate during gen 3, I give you that. Starmie began being excellent since the very beginning ruining the existence of Blastoise and the mega. Even in gen 7 UU, Starmie was, well, a star in that tier. Lapras is plain awful.
lapras was pretty solid at the time, just more of a tank than a sweeper like starmie. while not as diverse of a movepool, lapras can still use electric type moves and hit quite hard, i remember it very fondly of my first ever pokemon red playthrough when i was 7 yrs old.

Scizor is a great Pokémon who, if you save until you've dealt with fire types, can be terrifying, and when he goes Mega...he becomes a Godless Killing Machine. I've won games where Scizor took out 5/6 Pokémon from the enemy, my whole team was dedicated to allowing him so set up safely, so he could always set up at least 2 Sword Dances, after that, it's murder time, nothing can stop it.
The great thing is that it can switch in on so many things because of its typing and natural bulk. It will wreck so much havoc now that HP fire is gone
Was figuring there’d be some kind of an Easter vid today. But Scizor is an awesome surprise! Hope you guys are staying safe- thanks for continuing to put out great content.
I really hope Scizor is included in the Sword/Shield DLC. It would easily fix so many problems with doubles, mainly in giving Fairy types (Especially Togekiss) another counter.
Fun fact about my Scizor at Salt Lake City 2018...It got removed in Round 2 because it had wrong Special Attack stat. So I had to go the entire event with 5 mons.
‘Hey, which Pokemon should get mega evolutions?’ ‘How about the ones that need stat buffs?’ ‘Let’s give them to the Pokemon who are already broken’ ‘Yeah sure’ Discussion at Game Freak, 2013
Nah, Scizor struggles to switch into anything that isn't Crash or Turn, and the latter is more common, and even if you manage to switch into Crash, Darm just switches out into, y'know, Corviknight, so nothing would really change for it
Scizor’s been my favourite Poke since Gen 2 and he became tied with Deoxys for favourite Poke when Gen 3 came out. Just wish my shiny Scizors weren’t green, lol.
“And from there, Scizor could pass in peace.” Sounds like Skarmory and Steelix were in denial and Snorlax brought them to their senses and turned off Scizor’s life support.
@@twicepilled He already did the how GOOD, I'm talking about how GREAT, which is a remake of the how GOOD videos (like the ones with Scizor and Dragonite)
Have you ever heard the Tragedy of Scizor the Steel Bug? No. I figured as much, it´s a story many Ubers wouldnt tell, Scizor used to hit fast and hard, on top of being a danger with it´s swords dance setup. what happened? It couldnt tank fire types, it got burned up, by the meta.
Jeez we're getting old together. Came back to rewatch and was really surprised this 4 year old video is the remake and not the original. You have been doing great with the content and branching out from just covering specific Pokemon, keep it up!
The introduction of Intim Incin in VGC 2018 is actually what inspired Scizor rain. Scizor prefers to see Incin than Lando, because Incin isn't a switchin: +1 HH Bug Bite not only OHKOes, but gives Scizor massive healing. Regardless of that little misconception, good video, and thanks for covering my favorite Pokemon :)
How GREAT was Starmie Actually? Your old video doesn't give starmie enough time given its impact on the metagame of many generations. You have talked about it in so many videos but its video barely talks about it.
In Diamond, Magnezone was often run as a steel trapper with choice scarf for HP Fire OHKO on Scizor. iirc it was an important part of one of the top curselax teams

Scizor is a great Pokémon who, if you save until you've dealt with fire types, can be terrifying, and when he goes Mega...he becomes a Godless Killing Machine. I've won games where Scizor took out 5/6 Pokémon from the enemy, my whole team was dedicated to allowing him so set up safely, so he could always set up at least 2 Sword Dances, after that, it's murder time, nothing can stop it.
Scizor:sees an Rock,fairy,plant,psyquic, dark and ice Type*
Scizor: your free trial of being alive has ended
Alive*
Grass, not plant
Scizor *sees a weakened foe with low health remaining. Scizor: heavy breathing.
The great thing is that it can switch in on so many things because of its typing and natural bulk. It will wreck so much havoc now that HP fire is gone
Scizor: sees a fire type.
gotta switch fast!
Was figuring there’d be some kind of an Easter vid today. But Scizor is an awesome surprise! Hope you guys are staying safe- thanks for continuing to put out great content.
You expected another bunny pokemon?
I expected a chansey remaster
They already did scizor before this is just a reupload for views
happiny joke vid
do it FSG
@@SoggySlopster *Its just a video remake to analyze a past pokemon better
"I'm sure you've already seen the length of this video"
Oh no I haven't, I should check tha-- SWEET BABY ARCEUS!
I really hope Scizor is included in the Sword/Shield DLC. It would easily fix so many problems with doubles, mainly in giving Fairy types (Especially Togekiss) another counter.
Kellam just makes his videos longer and longer. He never stops giving.
Also, I love how Gens 2-3 are only about 5% of the length of the video.
Sarasaland Subserviant Sadly Scizor just didn't get quite a good start. It was still an okay Pokemon though in Gen 2 and 3. Being in UUBL is something
This has to be one of the best Pokemon ever made. You can fit it in like anything. So flexible.
Nope the title for most adaptable Pokémon would go to gen 6 clefable
@@thatonekidthatnobodytruste5406 I'd say Gen 8 Excadrill
Iván Zegarra I only see 2 sets on excadrill in gen 8, the sand rush sweeper and the mold breaker stealth rock rapid spin supporter
@@thatonekidthatnobodytruste5406 My bad, I mixed up USUM with SwSh, I've got myself four viable Excadrill sets, and they're all different
@@ivanzegarra9765 four? That’s it? There are Pokémon with literal DOZENS of viable move sets
It's great that even when Scizor doesn't shine as much in battle, the fear it poses on field and in teambuilder still changes how people play
I got really excited when I saw the thumbnail on my recommended because Scizor is my absolute favourite Pokémon
As much as I love Gengar, Scizor will always be my favourite designed Pokemon
one of my absolute favourites! In Gold/Silver my best friend used his metal coat to get a Steelix and I got a Scizor, such fond memories!
Bug Type is so generally bad because they poured all of their energy and power into Scizor, like Goku's Spirit Bomb
I like that visual.
can never forget volcarona
Scizor was the reason I got into competitive Pokemon
FSG: I think you've already seen how long this Video is.
Me: *Moves the mouse*
Also Me: *41 MINUTES?!*
My brain somehow processed it as 14 minutes, then I looked again and was like "HOLY CRAP"!
41 minutes! Well I feel like THAT clearly shows how deserving of a remake this pokemon was if there's that much to say about it.
Trainer: do you have a plan of attack?
Scizor: I have a plan.... ATTACK (with this choice band)
Fun fact about my Scizor at Salt Lake City 2018...It got removed in Round 2 because it had wrong Special Attack stat. So I had to go the entire event with 5 mons.
40+ minutes? We’re BLESSED this Easter.
40 minutes of this absolute LEGEND of a mantis?!
I can't put into words how much I love Scizor
The “and you might know their names” was my favorite part of the video.
Loving these remakes. Tyranitar remake gonna be over an hour long
18:18 - "Spaniard Guillermo Castilla Diaz", but the picture has an Italian flag next to the name...
‘Hey, which Pokemon should get mega evolutions?’
‘How about the ones that need stat buffs?’
‘Let’s give them to the Pokemon who are already broken’
‘Yeah sure’
Discussion at Game Freak, 2013
G-Darm would never have been banned if Scizor still existed in gen8, change my mind
Kinda agree with u
Scizor could still get sizzled by Flare Blitz by Ice Monkey G-Darm
It would have just bullet punched it with ease.
Nah, Scizor struggles to switch into anything that isn't Crash or Turn, and the latter is more common, and even if you manage to switch into Crash, Darm just switches out into, y'know, Corviknight, so nothing would really change for it
That's 41 minutes.... dear god, remember when they were 8 minutes each? About to clear some of my very busy schedule now
Would love to see Gyrados get the remastered treatment like Dragonite and now Scizor!
Gyrados, Gengar and Snorlax
Hey clash royale boi
@@rabeechowdhury What?
Plus dont bring ur bs here
I thought it was "Gyarados"
Scizor's one of those Pokémon where you know he's way too strong, but oh so much fun to use.
He was like the Smash 4 Cloud of Pokémon.
Talonflame was just like that in Gen 6 lol.
@@RandalfElVikingo Yeah, but they neutered him so badly, his ability is now basically useless. Talonflame is now Talonlame.
In that case, Talonflame's way more accurate to compare to Cloud! XD
Scizor’s been my favourite Poke since Gen 2 and he became tied with Deoxys for favourite Poke when Gen 3 came out.
Just wish my shiny Scizors weren’t green, lol.
Yeah I wish mega scizors shiny was a Crimson colour
Honestly blue/purple would be a good shiny.
“And from there, Scizor could pass in peace.” Sounds like Skarmory and Steelix were in denial and Snorlax brought them to their senses and turned off Scizor’s life support.
I must say, in this generation the original good boy might be quite promising. So, how GREAT was Arcanine actually?
They already did that I think
@@twicepilled He already did the how GOOD, I'm talking about how GREAT, which is a remake of the how GOOD videos (like the ones with Scizor and Dragonite)
@@alessandrosousa5917 oh ok
Incineroar is back in the game, which means that Arcanine is once again out.
@@kayeka4123 ... Well this sucks
my favorite steel type getting a second spotlight. Let's go
Oh yeah, I forgot how good Technician was before it got basically removed in Gen 8, what with the removal of Scizor, Breloom, and Hidden Power.
Scizor: has the opportunity to be op pokemon
Also scizor: he died in fire
Have you ever heard the Tragedy of Scizor the Steel Bug? No. I figured as much, it´s a story many Ubers wouldnt tell, Scizor used to hit fast and hard, on top of being a danger with it´s swords dance setup. what happened? It couldnt tank fire types, it got burned up, by the meta.
@@sebas8225 chill out son😂😂😂😂😂
That was a joke
@@pantherman691
Mate it was just a Star Wars reference.
Somehow only just seen this!! One of my favourites to use over the years, and I'm happy you got all my placements in with it! Haha.
The day Tyranitar review video comes is going to be at least one hour long.
Lol I was just finishing a battle with my Scizor when I got the notification for this video 😄
It's a sign.
I use Scizor every generation and it never fails to kick ass.
What about RBY
@@Squirtle_Squad_Supremacythey said what they said
Every gen
this video taught me that bearsfan, the guy whos old ass rng guides I watched to learn rng, was also a melee player. that's lit.
I feel like I hear “outclassed by Heracross” every video.
The GOAT gets a GOAT-length vid, nice.
Holy shieeeet. 41 minutes of FSG? Thanks, Easter Bunny!
FSG: Remakes Scizor video to update it
Gamefreak: Adds Scizor back to SwSh
FSG: Am I a joke to you?
Jeez we're getting old together. Came back to rewatch and was really surprised this 4 year old video is the remake and not the original. You have been doing great with the content and branching out from just covering specific Pokemon, keep it up!
36:53 "AND TAPUBULU? PFFFFFFFFFFFF"
I like hearing new or unique noises
I admire Scizor as the coolest bug in fiction
And now, as a competitive battler, I admire it as my favorite steel type
Mewtwo, a powerhouse that has been in the competetive scene since day 1: 35 mins.
A Bzzz Boi: 41 mins.
>Sees it's 41 minutes long<
NANI?!?!?!?!?!
The introduction of Intim Incin in VGC 2018 is actually what inspired Scizor rain. Scizor prefers to see Incin than Lando, because Incin isn't a switchin: +1 HH Bug Bite not only OHKOes, but gives Scizor massive healing.
Regardless of that little misconception, good video, and thanks for covering my favorite Pokemon :)
Forty minutes. Forty. That's as many as four tens.
And that's awesome.
I never really understood why Crabhammer doesn't exist anywhere in it's movepool. It looks perfect for those pinchers.
How GREAT was Starmie Actually?
Your old video doesn't give starmie enough time given its impact on the metagame of many generations. You have talked about it in so many videos but its video barely talks about it.
In Diamond, Magnezone was often run as a steel trapper with choice scarf for HP Fire OHKO on Scizor. iirc it was an important part of one of the top curselax teams
As someone who was playing competitive when Platinum came out, banded bullet punch scizor was insane.
i like how the first 3 gens just went by in 3 minutes
... terastalized steel scizor is going to be a monster in the new generation
