'''Go's Scyther''' (Japanese: '''ゴウのストライク''' ''Go's Strike'') is the twelfth {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{an|Go}} {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Kanto]] [[region]], and his thirteenth overall.

{{p|Scyther}} debuted in [[SS006]], where it was the last {{type|Bug}} Pokémon native to the [[Kanto]] [[region]] that {{an|Go}} needed to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}}. It easily repelled Go's [[Poké Ball]] and sent him and {{TP|Go|Scorbunny}} flying. Later, Go battled the Mantis Pokémon briefly with his Scorbunny before finally catching it. Afterwards, it was seen with all of his other Pokémon before [[Professor Sakuragi]] suggested leaving it at his [[Sakuragi Institute|Institute]].

In [[SS007]], Go used Scyther in his first [[Pokémon battle]] during the [[Battle Frontier Flute Cup]]. It battled [[Houji]]'s {{p|Mightyena}}, where it used {{m|Swords Dance}} before quickly falling to Mightyena's {{m|Fire Fang}}.

In [[SS015]], Go used Scyther alongside some of his other Bug Pokémon to find the bone of a wild {{p|Cubone}}, which he later caught.

Scyther is a fast and powerful {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, thus giving {{an|Go}} the most trouble to capture out of all the [[Kanto]]-native {{t|Bug}} types he went after. It is enthusiastic about battling and staying active. In [[SS007]], it followed [[Mimey]]'s kung-fu exercises alongside its Trainer, {{TP|Go|Scorbunny}}, the Professor, and [[Koharu]]. It was later shadow-boxing as an effort to get Go's attention to bring it to the [[Battle Frontier Flute Cup]]. Scyther is also shown to have a quick temper, as seen in [[SS015]]; when a group of {{p|Geodude}} threw snowballs at it, hitting it in the face, Scyther started chasing them. These behaviors contrast with Go's {{DL|Go (anime)|Pinsir}}, who tried to avoid being selected for the Flute Cup, and has been seen getting along with Go's smaller Pokémon like {{DL|Go (anime)|Caterpie}}. However, despite its rough demeanor, Scyther enjoys a hug, as seen in [[SS011]], when it accepted a hug from [[Ash's Dragonite]].

After its capture, Scyther quickly became one of Go's most used Pokémon, next to {{TP|Go|Raboot}}. Despite its strength and confidence, however, Go and Scyther are not as in sync with each other compared to Raboot, and Go's cautious strategy in the first round of the Flute Cup led to Scyther's quick defeat. Scyther didn't appear too upset by the loss, returning from the [[Pokémon Center]] for another battle. Like Scorbunny, it seemed more concerned with how hard Go was taking his first defeat.

Scyther appears in [[Pokémon Ga-Olé]] as one of Go's Pokémon.
