Red · Blue

With ninja-like agility and speed, it can create the illusion that there is more than one.

Yellow

Leaps out of tall grass and slices prey with its scythes. The move ment looks like that of a ninja.

Gold · Heartgold · Y

It slashes through grass with its sharp scythes, moving too fast for the human eye to track.

Silver

When it moves, it leaves only a blur. If it hides in grass, its pro tective colors make it invisible.

Crystal

It's very proud of its speed. It moves so fast that its opponent does not even know what knocked it down.

Ruby · Sapphire

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.

Emerald

Its blindingly fast speed adds to the sharpness of its twin forearm scythes. The scythes can slice through thick logs in one wicked stroke.

Firered · X

It tears and shreds prey with its wickedly sharp scythes. It very rarely spreads its wings to fly.

Leafgreen

With ninja-like agility and speed, it can create the illusion that there is more than one of itself.

Diamond · Pearl

It is nearly impossible to parry its attacking scythes. Its movements are like a ninja’s.

Platinum · Black · White · Black 2 · White 2

The sharp scythes on its forearms become increasingly sharp by cutting through hard objects.

Soulsilver

When it moves, it leaves only a blur. If it hides in grass, its protective coloration makes it invisible.

Omega Ruby · Alpha Sapphire

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.

Sun

It confuses its prey with its quick, ninja-like movements. Then, in an instant, it cleaves them with its scythes.

Moon

While young, they live together deep in the mountains, training themselves in how to fight with their scythes and move at high speeds.

Ultra Sun

Its two sharp scythes are more than just weapons. It uses them with dexterity to dress its prey before eating.

Ultra Moon

Some call it a ninja. Its movements— imperceptibly quick—are sufficient to cleave the air in two. It’s very popular in Alola.

Lets Go Pikachu · Lets Go Eevee

Leaps out of tall grass and slices prey with its scythes. The movement looks like that of a ninja.

Sword

As Scyther fights more and more battles, its scythes become sharper and sharper. With a single slice, Scyther can fell a massive tree.

Shield

If you come across an area in a forest where a lot of the trees have been cut down, what you’ve found is a Scyther’s territory.

Legends Arceus

The large, wickedly sharp scythes on its forearms are truly fearsome weapons. Prey's attempts to flee are unfailingly thwarted by this Pokémon's nimble motions.
