Rock Smash is its only way to hit Steels outside of Reversal or Focus Blast/Hidden Power off its shit Special Attack. No one would use it normally, but you literally have no better options if you want to hit Steels... Then again, with max attack it's a three hit KO on max/max+ Aggron (also an 8-hit KO on Skarmory). 50% chance to lower defense does make up for it a little though.Rock Smash? But that move is horrible. ._. Even with a CB, what the hell will Rock Smash really KO?
Escavalier and Scizor are both used for different purposes, but Escavalier is bulkier then Scizor, so it makes sense that Escavalier's attack hurts Scizor more.By the way: I realized, that Escavalier pretty much need CB in order to properly OHKO Latios and Gengar without HP and Def investment. Unfortunately, they eventually have to be KOed by faster ones or priority moves. Dang it, Scizors!
But Escavalier vs. Scizors is fun;
Scizors +2 Bug Bite on Escavalier (224 HP, 0 Def)
155 - 183 = 46% - 54.3%
Escavalier +2 Megahorn on Scizors (252 HP, 0 Def)
221 - 261 = 78.4% - 92.6%
332 - 391 = 117.7% - 138.7% (Swarm Mode)
Cool Calcs, aren't they?
Except Heatran. But seriously Megahorn, Iron Head, Pursuit, Knock Off/Counter. You'd be a fool to use anything else on CB or Insect Plate Escavalier.rock smash is pointless. All OU steels are hit harder by either Megahorn or Iron Head
