>>32915999What the fuck are you even on about? Where in a Sceptile set do you have room to even run Work Up, first of all? A +1 attack boost is shit. I don't know if you know this, but it's exactly half as effective as a +2 attack boost but it has the same cost: one of your precious movepool slots.
Why would you ever fucking do that? You know off the bat that you need both your STABs and then you're going to need moves to hit the Steel-types that you can't reach with them. If you pick HP Fire then Heatran and Toxapex both force you out, and if you pick EQ then you can't do anything to Bulu, Tangrowth, or Skarmory. So what then? You already wasted a slot for Work Up so now you have an even shittier version of your shitty Mega that you're running for whatever shitty reason. I guess you can justify Work Up since it boosts EQ's damage but it's only really relevant against Heatran, who is OHKOed outright after SR anyway

It's true that Sceptile has no way to boost its speed since off the top of my head it doesn't get DD, but that doesn't mean speed is excessive. Anything at base 81 will outrun it at +1. That means Gyarados, M-Sharpedo, Lele and tons of other Scarfers I don't care to list.
Also embiggen is a perfectly cromulent word
