+'''Scizor/Cherrim''' is a {{TCG|deck archetype}} that uses {{TCG ID|Stormfront|Scizor|25}} and {{TCG ID|Stormfront|Cherrim|14}} to do a large amount of damage for few energy.  The deck is widely regarded as one of the best moderately competitive decks for newer [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] players because of the simplicity of its strategy and the ease with which it can be played.  Although it has won few tournaments, Scizor/Cherrim is one of the longest surviving recognized archetypes of its era, with variants springing up all the way from the {{TCG|Stormfront}} expansion's release to the present day.
-'''Scizor/Cherrim''' is a {{TCG|deck archetype}} that uses {{TCG ID|Stormfront|Scizor|25}}, {{TCG ID|Stormfront|Cherrim|14}} (Sunny Form), {{TCG ID|Arceus|Cherrim|15}} (Overcast Form), and {{TCG ID|Platinum|Shaymin LV.X|126}}.
+==Strategy==
+As mentioned above, Scizor/Cherrim employs an extremely simplistic strategy.  The deck attempts to get many {{TCG ID|Stormfront|Scizor|25}} and {{TCG ID|Stormfront|Cherrim|14}} as quickly as possible, with {{e|Grass}}{{e|Grass}} and potentially {{TCG|Expert Belt}} attached to the former.  Scizor/Cherrim suffers from a major restriction on its ability to set up quickly, though, because the deck should not use {{TCG|Poké-Power}}s.  Scizor's ''Pound Down'' attack does only 40 damage instead of 70 if the player has any Pokémon with Poké-Powers in play.  This means the deck cannot abuse {{TCG ID|Legends Awakened|Uxie|43}}'s ''Set Up'', {{TCG ID|HeartGold & SoulSilver|Sunflora|31}}'s ''Sunshine Grace'', or any other Poké-Powers that could be very beneficial to the deck if included.
-==History==
+Scizor/Cherrim compensates for this handicap by utilizing a strong {{TCG|Trainer card|Trainer}} and {{TCG|Supporter card|Supporter}} {{TCG|engine}}.  Cards such as {{TCG|Quick Ball}}, {{TCG|Luxury Ball}}, {{TCG|Poké Drawer+}}, and {{TCG|Pokémon Collector}} help the deck set up quickly.
-==Strategy==
-Shaymin LV.X gives Scizor +40 HP. The Overcast Form Cherrim reduces damage done to Scizor, while the Sunny Form Cherrim increases the damage that Scizor inflicts. {{TCG ID|Stormfront|Scizor|25}} is the main battler.
