Game data
NPC appearances
- Pokémon Stadium 2: Scyther stars in a mini-game alongside Pinsir called "Clear Cut Challenge." Each player chops a falling log for each round of the game. The score for each player is determined by how close you are to the white line on the log. Cutting anywhere above the log will cause you to lose points.
- Pokémon Ranger: Garret uses two Scyther to back up his Scizor.
