DPPt/HGSS A Scizor Situation

I love scizors, but I don't have any good ideas for movesets.

I'm looking for a 4th generation moveset.

Its for an ingame party, and my scyther hasn't evolved yet, so it can still learn different moves that a scizor can't.

Any suggestions?
 
Since it's ingame;

Scyther
X-Scissor-Same Type Attack Bonus(STAB)
Aerial Ace-STAB
Night Slash- High Critical Hit Ratio
Swords Dance-Up already Spectacular Attack

Scizor
X-Scissor-STAB
Iron Head-STAB
Night Slash-High Critical Hit Ratio
Swords Dance-Up already Spectacular Attack

It may appear that I'm giving you stuff for Competitive battling but this will work fairly well.
 
Is its ability Technician or Swarm? That makes something of a difference.

If it's Swarm:
Iron Head (scyther doesn't learn, scizor learns at lv53)
X-Scissor (both at lv41)
Brick Break/Night Slash (TM31/both at lv45)
Swords Dance (both at lv57)

If it's Technician consider Aerial Ace or Wing Attack (TM40/lv21 as scyther only) instead of Brick Break or Night Slash, since they'd be boosted to 90 base power.

Swords Dance once or twice so you hit like a truck (and you should be able to take a hit or two from non-Fire/special enemies) then pick your favorite attack and go to town.
