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


It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Scizor}} when [[trade]]d holding a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Metal Coat}}.
It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Scizor}} when {{DL|Trade|Pokémon that evolve when traded|traded}} while holding a [[Metal Coat]].


==Biology==
In [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], it evolves into {{p|Kleavor}} when exposed to a [[Black Augurite]].
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'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.}}
(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data&rarr;Evolution data]] for more details.)


==In the anime==
==Biology==
[[File:Jeanette Scyther.png|220px|thumb|Scyther in the anime]]
Scyther is a bipedal, {{wp|insect|insectoid}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Its body is primarily green and has a thin, cream-colored section between its head, thorax, and abdomen. Female Scyther have larger abdomens than male Scyther. Its reptilian head has two narrow, triangular eyes and three blunt horns extending from its forehead. Its arms end in large, white scythes, which it uses for both hunting and fighting. Two pairs of cream-colored wings extend from its back. While these wings do allow Scyther to fly, it rarely does so. Scyther's thighs have large, upward-pointing spikes. Its feet are tall, rounded, and conical, almost extending to its thighs; each foot ends in three small, white claws on its front side.
===Major appearances===
====[[Tracey's Scyther]]====
{{Tracey}} captured an elderly Scyther in ''[[EP097|Tracey Gets Bugged]]''. Even in its old age it is very aggressive, but for the same reasons, Tracey tries not to use it.


====Other====
Scyther is an adept hunter that tears at its prey with its scythes. Thanks to its green coloration, it can camouflage itself well in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}} and forests where it lives. Humans rarely encounter wild Scyther in these areas, however. Said to be like a ninja, Scyther can move so quickly that it cannot be followed, increasing the effectiveness of its scythes. It maintains the sharpness of its blades through battle as well as by cutting through hard objects, such as trees; it can cut down a massive tree with just a single slice, although it cannot penetrate {{p|Tarountula}}'s elastic threads. [[EP097|The anime]] has shown that wild Scyther form swarms with a single leader chosen through combat. When a challenger successfully defeats a current leader and replaces it, the defeated leader is exiled from the swarm. [[EP042|It has also been shown]] that Scyther becomes aggressive when faced with the color red.
Scyther first appeared in ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]''. It was one of the Pokémon used during the feuds between the {{DL|Gym|Kas Gym|Kas}} and {{DL|Gym|Yas Gym}}s of [[Dark City]]. It is the Yas Gym's primary Pokémon.


In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', a Scyther owned by [[Corey]] was one of the Pokémon that was captured and cloned by {{OBP|Mewtwo|original series}}. When {{TRT}} saw this Pokémon being cloned, it was mistaken for an {{p|Alakazam}}. The Scyther clone was seen again in ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]''.
===Evolution===
Scyther evolves into {{p|Scizor}}.


A Scyther appeared during the [[Indigo League]] in ''[[EP077|The Fourth Round Rumble]]'', under the ownership of [[Jeanette Fisher]]. [[Ash's Bulbasaur]] battled the Scyther, and despite the type disadvantage, Bulbasaur came out the winner. It reappeared in a flashback in [[EP078|the following episode]] and in ''[[EP225|Bulbasaur... the Ambassador!]]''.
In [[Hisui]], it evolves into {{p|Kleavor}}.


A Scyther has also been used by the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Navel Island]], [[Danny]] in ''[[EP093|Navel Maneuvers]]''. It was seen helping Danny's {{p|Machoke}} and {{p|Nidoqueen}} carve Danny's sled and later competed in the sled race alongside Danny's {{p|Electrode}} and {{p|Geodude}}. It reappeared in a flashback in ''[[EP098|A Way Off Day Off]]'' and in another flashback in ''[[EP111|Hello, Pummelo!]]''.
(For specifics on this Pokémon's evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data&rarr;Evolution data]].)
 
<div style="float:center; display:flex; flex-flow:row wrap;">
[[Bugsy]] used a Scyther against {{Ash}} in ''[[EP144|Gettin' The Bugs Out]]''. This Scyther was trained to block {{Type|Fire}} attacks by using {{m|Swords Dance}} as a fan. Ash discovered that this defensive strategy doesn't work if a Fire-type move is used from above, which allowed his {{AP|Cyndaquil|Quilava}} to win in his Gym match.

Team Razor Wind overheard that [[Team Poképals]] were assigned with the task of traveling to the [[Labyrinth Cave]] to get a [[Gabite Scale]] for an ailing {{p|Shinx}}, and decided to attempt beating [[Team Poképals]] to the item. Unfortunately for Team Razor Wind, Gabite defeated them easily. It reappeared alongside its team in ''[[SS021|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky - Beyond Time & Darkness]]''.

Scyther cannot evolve into Scizor in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} before the player obtains the [[National Pokédex]], as its evolution will be interrupted.

In [[Hisui]], Scyther evolves into {{p|Kleavor}} when exposed to a [[Black Augurite]].

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Scyther's prototype name was "Stryke". This is a corruption of the word "strike", which is also its romanized Japanese name.
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Scyther's prototype name was "Stryke". This is a corruption of the word "strike", which is also its romanized Japanese name.
* Despite having different base stats, Scyther and its evolution, {{p|Scizor}}, both have a base stat total of 500. This makes Scyther the only pre-evolutionary form that has the same base stat total as its evolution.

* Scyther has the highest base stat total of all Pokémon that have not evolved but can still evolve, with 500.
* Scyther can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Pinsir}}. Both of them are {{type|Bug}} {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}}, with base stat totals of 500 and originally no evolution family. Scyther is exclusive to [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed]], [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Diamond]], and [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Pikachu!]], while Pinsir is exclusive to [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Blue]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|LeafGreen]], [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pearl]], and [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Eevee!]].
* Scyther can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Pinsir}}. Both of them are {{type|Bug}} {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}}. Scyther is exclusive to [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed]] and [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Diamond]], while Pinsir is exclusive to [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Blue]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|LeafGreen]] and [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pearl]].
* In {{game|Platinum}}, {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Scyther can learn {{m|Vacuum Wave}} by leveling up, but not via [[Move Tutor]].
* Scyther is the only Pokémon with a [[List of Pokémon with branched evolutions|split evolution]] to have had both of its evolutions introduced after its debut.
* Scyther's evolution into Kleavor is programmed into [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]]. However, the method is disabled, preventing the Pokémon from evolving. It shares this trait with {{p|Ursaring}} and {{p|Stantler}}. Scyther is programmed to evolve into Kleavor through usage of a Black Augurite (which is unobtainable in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet).


===Origin===
===Origin===
Scyther draws much inspiration from a {{wp|praying mantis}} and {{wp|grasshoppers}}. However, its face is more {{wp|reptile|reptilian}}, with similarities to {{wp|dinosaur}}s and {{wp|dragon}}s.  
As indicated by its category, Scyther seems to be based on a {{wp|mantis}} — most closely resembling the {{wp|European mantis}} and the {{wp|Chinese mantis}} — with arms shaped like {{wp|scythe}}s. It also possesses some {{wp|reptile|reptilian}} characteristics (e.g. head, teeth, claws, bipedal stance) that give it similarities to {{wp|Dromaeosauridae|dromaeosaurid}} dinosaurs. As indicated in its Pokédex entries, it may also be based on a ninja. There are similarities to the {{wp|Kamikiri (haircutting)|kamikiri}}, a haircutting yokai with sharp claws and teeth that may look like an insect.
