Should I use Dragon Claw or Swords Dance on physical Sceptile?

The Sceptile already has Rock Slide, Earthquake, and Leaf Blade. The last move will either be Swords Dance or Dragon Claw.Thx :3

Sword DanceThere’s actually no point for using dragon claw as Codenine Kiss’ve mention, seems the only thing it could do was only being super effective to Dragon type and nothing else.Sword Dance was farther much better seems it could do a good boost on its 85 Attack and which could make it sweep.However, if you want a psychical one, you might also want to use the set I’ve just post yesterday night (in HK).https://pokemondb.net/pokebase/564/what-is-a-good-moveset-for-sceptile?show=355262#a355262But if you don’t has HA one, your set was pretty fine :)Hope it helps!

depends on your set

for most sceptile you want to run swords dance bc dragon claw provides barely any coverage that you can make up for with other better moves.

but if your running choice band you would want to run dragon claw as putting set up moves on choiced pkm is notthat smart. (but why would you run physical sceptile lol)

tldr: 8 times out of ten you want swords dance as its very helpful to sceptile, but theres always that time whenyour running banded sceptile and when thats happening, dragon claw.
