Read more ↓Scyther, the Mantis Pokémon, is a dual-type Bug/Flying Pokémon introduced in Generation I. It is known for its incredibly sharp scythes, which it uses with precision and speed in battle. Scyther typically inhabits grasslands and forests, where its green coloration provides excellent camouflage amidst the foliage. Its diet primarily consists of smaller Bug Pokémon, which it ambushes with its swift movements. Scyther is unique in its evolution line, as it evolves into Scizor when traded holding a Metal Coat, or into Kleavor in the Hisui region when exposed to a Black Augurite. In the games, Scyther is often a formidable opponent due to its high Attack and Speed stats. It has been a recurring presence in the anime, often depicted as a proud and powerful warrior. Scyther holds cultural significance as an iconic early Bug-type, representing the fierce and agile aspects of these creatures in the Pokémon world. Its design, reminiscent of a praying mantis, is both elegant and menacing, making it a fan favorite since its debut.
