Read more ↓Scyther, the Mantis Pokémon, is a dual-type Bug/Flying Pokémon introduced in Generation I. It is known for its incredible speed and razor-sharp scythes, which it uses with precision and dexterity. Scyther typically inhabits grasslands and forests, where it hunts smaller Pokémon, using its natural camouflage to blend in with its surroundings before striking. Its diet consists primarily of smaller insects and plant matter. Scyther is a fierce and territorial Pokémon, often engaging in battles to protect its hunting grounds. In the games, Scyther evolves into Scizor when traded holding a Metal Coat, and into Kleavor when exposed to a Black Augurite in the Hisui region. Its distinctive design, resembling a praying mantis, has made it a memorable figure since its debut in the Kanto region. Scyther has appeared prominently in the anime, often depicted as a strong and honorable fighter, further cementing its status as a fan favorite. Its Bug/Flying typing gives it unique matchups, being weak to Rock, Fire, Electric, Flying, and Ice, but resistant to Fighting, Grass, and Ground.
