Scyther

Scyther (ストライク Sutoraiku) is a dual-type Bug/Flying Pokémon introduced in Generation I. Known as the Mantis Pokémon, it is characterized by its large, razor-sharp scythes on its forearms, which it uses to slash through prey and wood with ninja-like agility. It stands approximately 4 feet 11 inches tall and is primarily green in color, allowing it to camouflage in tall grass.

In battle, Scyther possesses high speed and can have the abilities Swarm, Technician, or Steadfast. Despite its Flying type, it is one of the few such Pokémon unable to learn the move Fly. It is unique as a pre-evolutionary form because it shares the same base stat total (500) as its evolution, Scizor, which it evolves into when traded holding a Metal Coat. It can also evolve into Kleavor when exposed to Black Augurite. Its Japanese name, Strike, is a direct reference to its offensive nature, while its English name combines “scythe” and the suffix “-er”.
