Surprised this didn’t see more play w/ the ability…

I think people actually paired the Scizor from this same set with Cherrim.

I played a Scizor deck (using Cherrim, Shaymin LvX, and Expert Belt) at the time that did very well against SP decks until Arceus tricks became a thing. One of the Arceus could damage regardless of effects on the defending pokemon, which got through Scizor’s invulnerability.

Arceus never got that good, did it?

There were a few top finishes at BattleRoads one season. The water Arceus (AR4 https://pkmncards.com/card/arceus-arceus-ar-ar4/ ) had the effect ignoring attack. They would level up the Arceus with the type they wanted (against my Scizor deck, it was the fire Arceus) with this LvX (https://pkmncards.com/card/arceus-lv-x-arceus-ar-94/ ) and then could use any attack they wanted. Scizor with Expert Belt got up to 120HP, and needed 6 damage counters for his body to work, so that left him with at most 60HP of wiggle room (100HP if playing with Shaymin LvX (https://pkmncards.com/card/shaymin-lv-x-platinum-pl-126/ )), but a belted Arceus hitting as a fire type, but using the water attack would do 90 damage after weakness, regardless of damage reducing effects like Scizor’s body, or the other Cherrim’s Cloudy Sky body (https://pkmncards.com/card/cherrim-arceus-ar-15/ ). So while my Scizor deck would steamroll the popular LuxChomp, Sablelock, or Gyarados decks, it absolutely had no way of beating Arceus.
But I do love that Cherrim. 10/10. Would run again.
