>>24831407>Gen1 Slash and Swords DanceThat's a retarded strategy, seeing as how in gen1, critical hits ignore all stat boosts, INCLUDING THE ONE LANDING THE CRIT.
Using a RBY damage calculator:
Scyther Slash vs. Electabuzz on a critical hit: 147-173 (44.1 - 51.9%) -- 12.3% chance to 2HKO
Electabuzz Thunderbolt vs. Scyther: 265-312 (77.2 - 90.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
I still have to give the edge to Electabuzz.
