Help me decide on my Steel type!
– My muscle, all attacks.– The primary Mega, Substitute + Dragon Dance– Wide Guard support and anti-Landorus.– Le Specs Hyper Voice, Dragon coverage. Might be changed to Clefable.– Invaluable coverage and Will-o-Wisp support.
Here’s where I run into difficulties; I need speed control and Steel coverage something awful. I’ve narrowed my field down to two Pokémon:KlefkiorScizor.
Klefki offers Prankster Thunder Wave, the best type of speed control, plus Safeguard to protect my own team from status. Unfortunately, she shares a Ground weakness with Electivire.
Scizor has Technician Bullet Punch and Bug Bite, which help the team against opposing Sylveon and Cresselia. He does have Tailwind speed control, but fails to provide the support that Klefki does.
So which Steel type benefits the team more? If I choose Klefki I lose out on an offensive option, whereas if I pick Scizor I lose out on support.
Help me make up my mind! Or if you think of a better alternative that wields Steel STAB and speed control, feel free to suggest it!

Scizor > Klefki because like you said klefki shares a weakness to ground with electivire while scizor only is weak to fire. If you send scizor out against a fire type by mistake, you can use u-turn to escape. So IMHO Scizor is better than klefki. I would use this set:Scizor@ scizoritetrait: TechnicianAdamant NatureEVs: 252 att, 252 def, 4 speMoves:TailwindBullet punchBug Bitesu-turn
Hope I helped ;)
let’s see, you have 3 physical attackers, 1.5 special attackers and .5 support (rotom is half and half), so you need some more special coverage.i’d recomend aegislash since he’s really the only special attacking steel type besides empoleon, but you already have a water type.here you go:aegislash@ leftoversevs: 252 sp atk ; 252 HP; 4 def-kings sheild-flash cannon-shadow ball-wide gaurd/ iron defense/ magnet riseI do have another non-steel type idea, but you said I couldn’t.
This can be solved by simply looking at your team. How many of you pokes are there to destroy opposed to help your team? Let’s go through them friends.http://pldh.net/media/pokexycons/466.pngoffensehttp://pldh.net/media/pokexycons/373-mega.pngoffensehttp://pldh.net/media/pokexycons/260.pngbothhttp://pldh.net/media/pokexycons/700.pngoffensehttp://pldh.net/media/pokexycons/479-heat.pngboth but mainly offenseKlefki what a name, Wooooobuffetextra pointsif you want to eliminate the ground weaknesss air balloon could help on either pokereplace sylveon for the almighty Dovahkiin (thats clefable). Follow me will help megamence set up sub then d-danceifyou’re runnIng motor drive on electivire you can thunder wave it with klefki to go faster. Another form of speed control
I have had a similar problem to this one myself. I would recommend klefki because you already have 2 (potentially 3) physical attackers. plus klefki can be good for setting up spikes and torment because of prankster.
