Scyther (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

}}

'''Scyther''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ストライク''' ''Strike'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Flying}} Pokémon.

==Biology==

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 this color. Although it is rare, Scyther can be found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands.}}

Scyther was used by one of the students of the [[Pokémon Trainer's School]] in ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule The School!]]''.

[[Luna]] from ''[[AG166|Curbing the Crimson Tide]]'' had a Scyther that eventually evolved into a {{p|Scizor}}.

* {{g|Stadium 2}}: Scyther stars in a mini-game alongside {{p|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 the player is to the white line on the log. Cutting anywhere above the log will cause the player to lose points.

* {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}: [[Go-Rock Quads|Garret]] uses two Scyther to back up his {{p|Scizor}}.
