Guzma's Scizor is one of
Guzma's two Pokémon, and the stronger of both. It battled against
Ilima's Kangaskhan in the Top 16 round of the Alola League. Initially Scizor wasn't able to land attacks, but then its strategy changed as
Guzma made sure that Scizor always lined up in front Kangaskhan and its little one to use it as a shield. Kangaskhan was always worried that its attacks could hit the little one and because of that its moment were too slow. Despite Mega Evolving during the battle, it couldn't keep up with Scizor and it lost the match.
In the second match of the Alola Pokémon League semifinals,
Guzma's Scizor faced off against
Ash's Torracat but Scizor quickly used U-turn and
Guzma's Golisopod came out to battle. Torracat held its own in that matchup and Golisopod fled, forcing Scizor to appear on the battlefield where it took a direct hit from Fire Blast and was knocked out.
