Scizor
Is a 98% Scizor worth maxing out to lvl 40 from lvl 20? Does anybody have one maxed out and put it to use? Thanks!

I have 2 IV100%, double-bug scizors and a 98%, double-steel one, only one of them maxed out to 40. Can't say I've used them much, the maxed out 100 rarely gets auto-selected for anything but FC/XS "feels" great for dodging, even though it doesn't deal that much damage. Dunno what else to say, I do plan on maxing out the second one in time just because it is 100% as well but right now I would only recommend it to you if you have lots of dust and candies and don't know what to use them on like me.
I have a lvl 37 100% FC/XS Scizor, and according to Pokebattler, it is among my top six attackers against both Absol and Alakazam with "unknown moveset." Against 'Zam, it comes in behind my lvl 35 SC/SB Gengar, my lvl 36 C/SB Mewtwo, and my lvl 35 B/C Tyranitar, but ahead of my three lvl 30 B/C Tyranitars, my two lvl 33 H/SB Gengars, and my lvl 40 100% DT/O Dragonite.
It also makes my top six against certain Mewtwo movesets.
Personally, I like using it for the nimbleness of its moveset, and for diversity's sake. It really needs the double bug FC/XS moveset to shine, though.
I like him (double bug). If u live somewhere were its raining often he is very good.
Due to dodge ability I even have him in my normal gym attacker team (2Nites, 2Mach, Raikou & Scizor).
He is no must have but I would give him a place in the top15 and as far I know he wont be replaced by a better of his kind like par example Gyarados.
