===Physiology===
Scyther is a bipedal, insectoid creature. It is primarily green with cream accents between its body segments. On the back of its somewhat reptilian head are three points, and it has narrow eyes. Its forearms consist of large, white scythes, which it uses for hunting as well as fighting. On its thighs are spikes of fur, and it has three clawed toes on its large feet. Two pairs of cream-colored wings extend from its back. While these wings do allow Scyther to fly, it is rarely seen doing so. The abdomen of a female will be slightly larger than that of the male.
Scyther resembles a primarily green, human-sized praying mantis with accents of cream coloration. It has large, blade-like forearms and a {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with two or more pairs of wings|pair of cream-colored wings}}. Its head is reptilian rather than insect-like in shape, with three small points, and its feet possess three claws.


====Gender differences====
Scyther's blade-like forearms are capable of slicing through logs, and become sharper by cutting through hard materials. Using swift movements, it camouflages itself and enhances the effectiveness of its scythes. [[EP09|The anime]] has shown that wild Scyther form groups. If a challenger Scyther wins a battle against the leader of the Scyther swarm, the original Scyther leader will depart and the challenger will take place as the new leader[[EP042|It has also been shown]] that some Scyther despise the color red, and become aggressive when confronted with the color. Although it is rare, Scyther can be found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands.}}
The female of the species have slightly larger abdomens.
 
===Special abilities===
Scyther's blade-like forearms have the power to {{m|Slash|slice}} through logs with a single blow. Scyther is also gifted with tremendous speed and is a strong flyer, but very rarely flies. It is said it could use its scythes like a ninja. Scyther is one of a small number of Pokémon still capable of evolution that are able to use {{m|Hyper Beam}} and {{m|Giga Impact}}.
 
===Behavior===
Scyther are very intelligent, but tend to be quiet and reclusive in the wild. They tend to act like lions, and if a challenger Scyther wins a battle against the leader of the Scyther swarm, the original Scyther leader will depart, and the challenger will take place as the new leader. When confronted by a {{pkmn|Trainer}}, they will react very aggressively to defend themselves, but when trained, Scyther can be among the most loyal Pokémon on any Trainer's team and hate to give up.
 
In ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]'', it was revealed that Scyther and {{p|Electabuzz}} despise the color red, however, other Scyther seen in the anime have not been as aggressive when confronted by the color, such as [[Tracey's Scyther]].
 
===Habitat===
[[File:Grassland Habitat.png|thumb|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]
Scyther are often rare Pokémon that prefer an open grassland so they can live with other packs of Scyther. However, they have been known to take residence in secluded forests. Although rare, they are usually imported to live in [[Safari Zone]]s and [[National Park|similar reserves]], though populations have been recorded in [[Sinnoh]] and the [[Battle Zone]].
 
===Diet===
Scyther has been known to use its scythes to slash its prey.
