Yes, gamefaqs (lol, we're beyond that now). Anyway, apparently CBzor with Technician/Adamant/Bullet Punch/max Atk EV's will only 3HKO Crobat with no HP EV's/Def EV's and without SR support. In turn, Crobat can counter with Heat Wave which as we know will OHKO Scizor. This doesn't make sense, but calculations don't lie. I ran the calculations on metalkid.
Max Attack (394) Scizor, Choice Band, Technician
VS
Min Defense (165), Min HP (311) Crobat, Leftovers (tbh, I'm not sure about these)
Now, either a bunch of people are making poor calculations or someone discovered something very amazing. This bat can take a hit from CBzor (one of the most threatening pokes in this gen) than a feared Dragon (I'm talking about Salamence w/out Intimidate). I mean Salamence has 10 more base HP than Crobat and Intimidate, yet Crobat takes this hit better. Poison/Flying doesn't resist Steel (at least I don't think the last time I checked). Can someone help me make sense of all this?
Heh, if Crobat (or anything else for that matter) countered Scizor, I would think it would've been figured out by now. Scizor's been rampaging for what, eight months now?
Okay, thanks. That cleared it up. It really didn't make sense. Fortunately, I found out later that with max HP EV's and Defense EV's on Crobat, it can survive by taking somewhere from 32% to 40 something %. And Heat Wave can deal 93% to 110% without any SpAtk EV's. Whatever.
