[[File:|180px]] Expansion {{{expansion}}} Release date {{{release}}} Types used Major cards Shaymin LV.X, Scizor, Cherrim/Cherrim. Coin {{{coin}}}

Scizor/Cherrim is a deck archetype that uses Scizor, Cherrim (Sunny Form), Cherrim (Overcast Form), and Shaymin LV.X.

Strategy

Shaymin LV.X gives Scizor +40 HP. The Overcast Form Cherrim reduces damage done to Scizor, while the Sunny Form Cherrim increases the damage that Scizor inflicts. Scizor is the main battler. The draw is that Scizor's attack, Accelerate makes the effects of all attacks fail during the opponent's next turn. Add an Expert Belt and Sunny Day and Scizor can be taking out even Stage 1 Pokémon in one attack with Accelerate. Pound Down has more power to kill the bigger attackers, but Accelerate is the main attack.

The deck relies on Cherrim boosting Scizor's power, especially for Accelerate, but since Shaymin LV.X and Cherrim both have PokéBodies as opposed to PokéPowers, Scizor can still utilize Pound Down for some heavy damage. Cherrim and Shaymin also have low cost attacks and Retreat Costs of 1, so it's not a bad situation if they end up in the active.
