Explanation of Set
Scolipede's most common set and for good reason. Learning Swords Dance, he can  boost his attack sky high and muscle through a lot of Pokemon that would normally give him an issue. Rock Slide and Earthquake give great coverage while Megahorn deals insane damage after Focus Sash activates Swarm.

With the changes, Scolipede will be even bulkier and may trade the Focus Sash out for another item. However, keep in mind that Focus Sash is still the premier item to use when using him to save him from many powerful moves and guaranteeing a set up.
