Should I replace scizor with another bug type?

I don’t know If scizor is the best choice for a bug type and I kind of want to swap him

Scizor is definitely a good Bug type, but to obtain it, you need to trade. Good physical Bug types are Pheromosa, Scyther, Scolipede, and Golisopod. Good special ones are Galvantula, Ribombee, Vikavolt, Orbeetle to an extent, and Volcarona. I do definitely recommend Scizor, it’s excellent, but it being a trade evolution hinders it. Here’s a set:

Scizor @ anythingAbility: Technician- X-Scissor / U-turn- Metal Claw / Bullet Punch- Brick Break- any other physical move

The physical Bug type I recommend the most outside of Scizor is definitely Scolipede. Here’s a set:

Scolipede @ Life Orb / anything elseAbility: Speed Boost / Swarm- Megahorn- Posion Jab- Earthquake- Throat Chop

The special Bug type I recommend is Volcarona , but if you can’t get that, Ribombee.

Volcarona @ Silver PowderAbility: Swarm / Falme Body- Quiver Dance / Psychic- Bug Buzz- Flamethrower / Fiery Dance- Giga Drain / Psychic

Ribombee @ Silver Powder / Pixie PlateAbility: Shield Dust- Pollen Puff / Bug Buzz- Dazzling Gleam- Energy Ball- Psychic

Hope I helped!

Keep Scizor, if you already have it

Your other options are pretty bad.

Scizor is a relatively fast Bug type with a powerful priority move in Bullet Punch, which it learns upon evolution. It is also able to use Swords Dance (TR or Level 48). Scizor is also a good user of False Swipe since it is boosted by 50% if you have Technician. However, keep it away from Fire moves.

Vikavolt is slow and not very bulky. If you don’t faint in 1 or 2 hits, Vikavolt can prove to be pretty useful in breaking down things you normally wouldn’t be able to very easily.

Orbeetle lacks a good ability and has a pathetic Attack stat and a meh Special Attack stat. In-game, you mostly just want to muscle through everything instead of being defensive.

Golisopod has a very annoying ability and is really slow. Unlike Vikavolt, Emergency Exit and its many weaknesses prevent it from being useful. Catching Wimpod is a pretty infuriating process, too.

I know you didn’t mention these Pokemon, but you can give them a try
