It's a Bug/Steel, but it's not the legendary one.

But Shubarugo. It has the superior design, IMO. Never was a fan of Scizor either way.

Scizor is pretty cool, but I decided to give Shubarugo a break since it definitely has a more interesting concept/personality/quirk.

Though I think Ianto vs Scizor would have made more sense.

Scizor. He just looks so awesome.

it's really hard to decide. i want to put one of them on my team but i cant decide which one. scizor has better speed and movepool but shubarugo has both defense and special defense and megahorn. i really just cant decide

Since battling isnt optional
Scizor It looks cool

Former king of OU that looks like a complete badass vs what even is it?

Scizor for being epic. Escavalier is ok, it has nice bulk and huge attack, but its design is really unappealing to me. Scizor's got the looks, the style, the skill, the everything... Plus, it evolves from Scyther who is just as awesome, whereas Karrablast is meh.

I chose Escavalier, better design.

scizor looks cooler,has a cooler name, and is the successor of scyther. Plus it's red so its 3x faster.

Design -wise, Escavalier. I think it's really creative, and I love the knight motif, having always been fascinated with medieval stuff. In fact, I like this pokémon so much, it used to be my favorite.

"Escavalier" is cool too, being a portmanteau of "escargot", french for snail, and "cavalier", meaning knight. Snail Knight!

But stat-wise, Scizor. This thing just kills everything in sight. It doesn't look too shabby, either.

But overall, Escavalier. The knight motif was a personal autowin.

Scizor! It's just a beast. It can spam Technican Bug Bite, Bullet Punch, Aerial Ace, and other low base power moves. I just don't like Escavalier's speed, but it's design is better. And Scizor makes up for it's low speed with Techni-Bullet punch. Scyther is awesome, Karrablast is meh. So my vote goes to Scizor, the truly epic Bug/Steel.

Scizor looks cool and it is red, one of, if not my favorite color.
But there is something on it that never appealed to me... I don't know why.

Escavalier on other hand... I love its kinda bulky design, its lances and especially its eyes.
Also, its method of evolution is pretty cool. I don't mind its slow speed, a lot of my favorite Pokémon are basically slugs.
