Read more ↓Scyther is a Mantis Pokémon, a fierce Bug/Flying type known for its incredible speed and razor-sharp scythes. Introduced in the very first generation of Pokémon, Scyther quickly became a fan favorite due to its distinctive design and formidable presence. It evolves into Scizor when traded holding a Metal Coat, or into Kleavor in the Hisui region when exposed to a Black Augurite, showcasing its adaptability across different eras. In the wild, Scyther are often found in grasslands and forests, where their green coloration provides excellent camouflage. They are natural hunters, using their scythes to swiftly cut down prey. Their behavior is characterized by their strict training regimen, honing their combat skills and speed. Scyther has been a staple in the Pokémon anime, often depicted as a powerful and honorable fighter, notably appearing as a key Pokémon for characters like Tracey Sketchit and Ash Ketchum's rival, Gary Oak. Its type combination gives it weaknesses to Fire, Flying, Ice, and Rock, but resistances to Fighting, Grass, and Ground. Culturally, Scyther represents precision, speed, and martial prowess, embodying the spirit of a skilled warrior. Its design draws inspiration from praying mantises, enhanced with an aggressive, almost reptilian head and powerful insectoid wings, making it one of the most iconic Bug-type Pokémon.
