Shadow Scizor Bug Steel · Ultra League
GBL Note Analysis Basis: PvPoke simulation · last-30-day field meta · S27 New Beginnings
Limited field sample — not seen enough in the last 30 days of GBL Note data, so the analysis below is based on simulation and type matchups.
✔ Strengths & how to use High matchup stability gives it even, reliable performance across a wide field. On defense it double-resists Grass · Poison · resists Normal · Ice · Psychic · Bug · Dragon · Steel etc, holding up well against those attackers. ⚠ Weaknesses & threats On defense it is doubly weak to Fire, so watch out for those attackers. High attack but thin bulk means shield management heavily decides its games. That said, it's unfavored into threats like Feraligatr, so avoid that head-to-head. GBL Note verdict It's barely seen in the last 30 days of field data. On paper it's B-tier, with real value swinging on moveset and team synergy.
