Trivia

• Scyther can go from level 4 to level 5 without having to score at a goal zone, Knock Out a Pokemon, or get an Assist for contributing to Knocking Out a Pokémon on the opposing team. It is then able to learn either Dual Wingbeat or Bullet Punch, and if it learns Bullet Punch it will evolve. In this way, Scizor bypasses the normal restrictions for evolution that other Pokémon all follow. This is likely due to how Scyther's evolution is conditional, a property that is unique to it. (Kubfu's evolution is similar but not conditional: it will evolve and the move learned only determines the form.)
• When Pokémon UNITE lists Pokémon in National Pokédex order, Scizor is listed where Scyther would be. This is likely due to how players are allowed to not evolve Scyther in battle.
