I'm a little late to this boat but Indianapolis has some really interesting stats we need to look at 1. :miraidon: was the restricted of choice for winner Rajan Bal. This lines up with the pre-reg g theory that it would take over the metagame. It's Hadron Engine ability combined with it's...

Okay but can we talk about how good Scizor is a defog user? it's really good at switching in, uses u-turn very well, can be both bulky and hit hard since it doesn't need speed to be good, as bullet punch is its main offense, and Scizor is cool. I know it's UU but i think it could have potential...
