FAQs

What is super effective to Scyther? ›

Scyther is a Bug/Flying type Pokémon, which makes it especially weak against Rock moves, and weak against Flying, Fire, Electric and Ice moves.

Scyther is a mediocre choice in PU and primarily functions as a pivot capable of checking fairly common Fighting- and Grass-type Pokemon such as Gurdurr and Victreebel.

Since its in-game, anything works really so just go with your favorites. Scyther has more weaknesses and lower Attack, but is much faster than Scizor. Scizor has a great attack stat, and really good typing (he's only weak to Fire, even though it's a 4x weakness), but he's slower.

A max CP of 2706 is pretty lackluster for Master League, and Bug-type attacks aren't as valuable in this league either.

The best Pokemon Go Scizor counters are Mega Blaziken, Mega Charizard Y, Shadow Chandelure, Shadow Darmanitan, Reshiram & Shadow Blaziken.

The answer to when you should evolve is simple: evolve as soon as you have all of the Scyther moves you want. Any moves you miss for Scizor can be obtained with Heart Scales from the Move Re-learner in Blackthorn City.

Wild Scythers are only in the Safari Zone. The note on Celadon is referring to buying it at the Game Corner. For the Safari Zone, just stay in the grass near the entrance, because out of all four of the Zone's "screens", that first screen is the one with the best chance of Scyther appearances.

The best Pokemon Go Shadow Scyther counters are Mega Diancie, Shadow Rampardos, Shadow Rhyperior, Rampardos, Shadow Regigigas & Mega Aerodactyl.

You want both, so you level Scyther to level 21 to get Wing Attack, then evolve to Scizor. Scizor is too high in level to get Metal Claw now, but you can take it to the Move Relearner and recover Metal Claw because it's one of Scizor's level up moves.

Why is Scyther banned? ›

Scyther has been banned from Little Cup ever since the tier's inception in DP. Its base stat total of 500 would tower over the rest of the tier—the current highest is Ponyta with a BST of 410.

Scyther is blindingly fast. Its blazing speed enhances the effectiveness of the twin scythes on its forearms. This Pokémon's scythes are so effective, they can slice through thick logs in one wicked stroke.

This is for ingame yes? I'd go for Scizor. Stronger offensive stats than Steelix, access to a priority move, and only a single weakness. Steelix is more for just absorbing physical hits being thrown around than anything else, which with Umbreon on your team already it wouldn't seem necessary to me.

Every level the stats are recalculated taking into consideration the EVs, IVs level etc. It will also recalculate them on evolution as well. This means you can have a level 100 max attack scyther, evolve it and you will have a max attack scizor.

Unlike Scizor's evolution path, Scyther doesn't need to be traded to evolve into Kleavor. As soon as you give Black Augurite to your Pokémon, it will evolve directly into Kleavor, a Bug/Rock-type Pokémon.

A Scyther can evolve into Kleavor at any level. All it takes is having a Black Augurite in your Satchel, selecting it, and giving it to a Scyther in your party. If you follow the three easy steps below you'll end up with a Kleavor.

What You Need to Do to Evolve Scyther into Kleavor. A Scyther can evolve into Kleavor at any level. All it takes is having a Black Augurite in your Satchel, selecting it, and giving it to a Scyther in your party.

To solo defeat Scyther, you must have a raid party with maxed-out Rock-, Flying-, Fire-, Electric-, and Ice-type Pocket Monsters. Here are some recommended counters: Mega Diancie with Rock Throw and Rock Slide. Shadow Rampardos with Smack Down and Rock Slide.

What counters Aerodactyl? Aerodactyl is a Rock/Flying type Pokémon, which makes it weak against Rock, Steel, Water, Electric and Ice moves.

Shadow Scyther is a Bug and Flying type and as such, it is weak to Rock, Electric, Fire, Flying, and Ice type attacks.
