Found on >Reddit
Swap Lightning Rod for Armor Tail (Blocks opponents' priority moves)
New special 95BP Dragon move with perfect accuracy and it cannot be redirected
Also gives it Tail Glow, Earth Power, Aura Sphere, and Weather Ball

How good would this make Mega Sceptile? What is base Sceptile got Armor Tail as well?

Oh, boy.

Every single Dazzling clone didn't get distributed to more mons. If Sceptile ever gets an ability that blocks priority moves, it would be a reskin, so it never ever gets Armor Tail. Funnily enough Armor Tail is Farigiraf's signature Ability even though the tail became a hoodie, so it doesn't even have a visible tail strictly speaking anymore. (Side note: No fucking mon will ever get Ice Scales cause it's specifically moth scales related yet a lot of tards just make their Ice mega evo concepts and gave the mons Ice Scales for no fucking reason really, cause they didn't even do a proper research just want to create some disgustingly OP mon)

The new move is fine. However, Tail Glow is a big no. The tail is not glowing, neither the orbs and someone with base 145 Speed and SpATK getting a +3 is out of the question. Especially if the proposed Armor Tail would save it from being Ice Shard killed.

Take away Aura Sphere as well. Change Tail Glow to Nasty Plot.

What’s wrong with Nasty Plot? By this logic every tailed mon should have this move but is definitely isn’t happening

Aura Sphere is fine IMO. Swapping Tail Glow for Nasty Plot is fine. Maybe even Calm Mind or Growth.
Still think Armor Tail works given the shape and purpose of the tail.
>>58822297
I always thought Regenerator was more fitting, but I also really like Armor Tail now.
>>58822300
Think on top of everything else here, Tail Glow may be too much. Would be fine on base Sceptile without the Mega though.

Why all of this powercreep when you can just give him Draco Meteor and Volt Switch instead? Do you even use him?

Unless they make an event Sceptile with the move, it’s never getting it

Armor Tail or Regenerator
Just give it Nasty Plot, Earth Power, Aura Sphere, and Weather Ball
No need for Tail Glow or a new signature move.
