Who could be a better Sweeper? Gardevoir or Scizor?
I wanted to know because I have both of them in Pokémon Alpha Sapphire.Scizor Moveset @ Scizorite:Bullet PunchX-ScissorSwords DanceAerial Ace
Gardevoir Moveset @ Gardevoirite:MoonblastThuderboltPsychicShadow Ball

With only those given movesets, go for Scizor. He has fewer weaknesses, more resistances, and a killer advantage with Swords Dance. For an in-game scenario such as this one, Scizor is the better option by a long shot.
It depends which side of physical or special you’re looking for.
I found a lot of success in XY OU with Mega Scizor. I used this set:
Scizor (M) @ ScizoriteAbility: TechnicianEVs: 216 HP / 96 Atk / 140 SpD / 56 SpeAdamant Nature- Bullet Punch- Knock Off- Swords Dance- Roost
It gave Scizor very good coverage and bulk, as well as a form of recovery in case it racked up damage, and then swept with +6 Bullet Punch. It was a marvelous sight to behold.
Mega Gardevoir is typically used as a stallbreaker.
I’d say something like a set of this would work for it:
Gardevoir (F) @ GardevoiriteAbility: TraceEVs: 24 Def / 252 Spe / 232 SAtkTimid Nature- Hyper Voice- Psyshock- Taunt- Focus Blast / Will-O-Wisp
The bread and butter of this set are Taunt and Hyper Voice, which rip through most stall teams with ease, preventing them from doing much in return to you. Pair with a cleric, and you can keep Gardevoir around for a lot longer.
