Technically, you can now have a whole team of nothing but unique bug/steel critters to command. But which of these single iron insects will reign supreme? (And no, let's not leap to the obvious choice just yet.)

Here they are!

The Highly-Powerful and OU'ed Scizor?

Ani205MS.png
The highly-defensive, Spike-spammer Forretress?

Ani413SMS.png
The way underused Wormadim in its Trash Cloak?

Ani589MS.png
The slow but extremelly-powerful Escavier?

Ani632MS.png
The ant with the potential to be a huge sweeper, Durant?

Ani649MS.png
Or the most powerful (and rarest) of them all, Genesect?

So, who will be the victor based on...
*Battle prowess?
*Looks?
*Just 'cause?

What will you vote for?

Let the voting begin!

Well, Genosect using its signature move, with the Fire cassette, would win, burning its fellow comrades. But, I prefer either Forretress or Scizor, Defense and Attack, that's all. :D
 
Technician.

Bullet Punch.

STAB

Gee, I wonder who wins?

SCIZOR!
 
Looks and overall Badassery? Genesect.

Usability and still badassery and will probably still dominate in the longrun? Scizor.
 
IMO this is a tough choice to make between Scizor and Chevargot (I know I'm messing up it's name :3). The others are easily dumped behind.
Guess I'll go for Scizor. Best design out there and I hear it's pretty useful in battle.
 
Technician.

Bullet Punch.

STAB

Gee, I wonder who wins?

SCIZOR!

This.

Scizor is one of my top 5 favorite Pokemon, so of course I'm voting for him.

The others... I don't really care much about.
 
I chose Genosect.
I love Forretress and Scizor, but the latter is kinda overrated now. With everyone spamming him in battles and such. Fighting him, and killing him every 2 battles or so gets boring after a while.
 
I'm with Forretress all the way. Pineco is my second favorite second generation.
 
Who would win in an all-out brawl between them? If Genesect has either Blaze Techno Buster or just Flamethrower, it's an automatic winner, LOL.
 
Bullet Punch + Technician + STAB= Awesome Scizor!

Plus, just look at my name..
 
Yeah, Scizor wins this really, really easily for me. It's my all time favorite mon, and I use it on almost all of my teams. Foretress is also good though, so he gets second place. Most people shut him out, but he's got a niche.
 
Scizor, due to design and Bullet Punch.
 
Scizor is the best. It has an awesome attack stat and Bullet Punch and Technician are great.
 
I picked only Forretress, Shubarugo, Wormadam and Genosect.

Forretress is a defensive Pokemon, and I like defensive Pokemon. Shubarugo is quite powerful and very sturdy, and has a very interesting evolution method, which is always a plus, plus that jousting motif and knight in shining armour is a very nice touch. Wormadam looks really funny in trash, and Genosect is quite a powerful predator and has the ability to shoot lasers, which is no doubt something new for a Pokemon (beams don't count).

I could choose Aianto, but I didn't feel it, and to the Scizor fans, I apologise for not picking him/her, because I also don't feel the magic. Sure, powerful is one thing, but I am not interested in the power that you all are captivated at.

Thanks for reading.
 
Battle Prowess: Genosect. A pure offensive force, plus it could decimate the other Bug/Steels because of their mediocre (for the most part) special defenses.
Looks: Scizor, Forretress, and Genosect. Ainto's kinda bland. Shubarugo doesn't look particularly great. Wormadam just plain sucks.
Just 'cause: Genosect, for being the first Bug-type Legendary. Scizor and Forretress still have my love, however.
