Scolipede is an overall great Pokemon to use in competitive play. It has great Attack, with an outstanding Speed. You'd think a giant centipede would move a little slower! It's Defense and Sp. Def aren't really that great, and it's HP is something to brag about either, but there are multiple ways to work around these issues. Besides these down sides, Scolipede is a great a asset to the team.

                                    Suggested Move Set

Mega Horn
Poison Jab
Earthquake
Pursuit

X-Scissor is a good STAB/Coverage move, learned by TM. Poison Jab is just an awesome STAB move learned via TM. Earthquake is a great Coverage move for one of Scolipede's weaknesses learned via TM. Pursuit is great because it takes advantage of Scolipede's Speed to deal massive damage!
