Best item for Sheer Force Nidoking in X and Y?

I have a sheer force modest nidoking should I give it choice scarf or life orb? I personally like choice scarf better but asking you guys too.

Life Orb is superior, as Nidoking is slow and will be outspeed by most Choice Scarf users anyways. The power boost received from Life Orb is pretty noticeable.

I would go for the Life Orb, personally. The 69% increase in power (30% Sheer Power + Life Orb boost) is EXTRAORDINARY. Nidoking is gonna be outspeeded anyway by most other Choice users. EV training a Nidoking for Speed and Attack with a Jolly Nature along with a Life Orb + Sheer Power could make a deadly combo. (not the best sweeper but could still be very effective with enough Defense to hold up)

Hope this helps!~excadrill444~

I think I like choice scarf better because nidoking have low defends and I keep getting one shot and greninja is very commen now, so with choice scarf sheer power modest nidoking I can one hit pokes so I probably won’t need life orb. And my Eva are 252 Sp attack 252 speed 6 hp.And I also have a protean greninja:OP.
