It doesn't do much defensively either, in theory Steel/Bug is an amazing typing, but in practice it's only good for maybe two threats (Egg and Lax) which both regularly pack Fire coverage and have status/boosting moves to get around Scizor. Defensively Skarm's just better. Baton Pass is its only niche, but it doesn't threaten a single phazer while Jolteon at least threatens Skarm and Cune.
