The Best Safe Swap in Fantasy Cup?! | Route to Legend Pokémon Go Battle League PVP

Fantasy Cup is back and we're bringing some shadow pokemon to the party. Shadow Scizor is arguably one of the best safe swaps in fantasy cup purely for its combination of raw damage output, spammy charge moves, resistances to all 3 main typings present and ability to buff itself through fairly new move Trailblaze. While it's true that fire type damange output will shut Scizor down lightning fast there just isn't much present thanks to the number of Flygon and Azumarill saturating this meta.

Shadow Mawile and Azumarill round out this team for some aggressive steel coverage and ground countering respectively. While Mawile isn't winning too many leads, Scizor on the safe swap does an amazing job of pressuring shield advantage or taking advantage of opposing Azumarill that think they don't need to shield.

Of course something like Turtonator on the lead almost guarantees an instant loss for this team but there aren't many out there again thanks to the Dragons and Waters everywhere.
