Scyther is a Bug / Flying-type Pokémon, No. 123 in the National Pokédex, introduced in Generation 1 (Kanto region).
« 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. »
Its story
Lifestyle
A swift hunter, it hides in grasslands and forests and can fell a huge tree in one slice. It evolves into Scizor or Kleavor.
In the anime
Tracey caught an elderly Scyther, a former swarm leader that is still very aggressive. He tries not to send it into battle.
Name origin
Scyther may blend scythe with the suffix -er. It is likened to a ninja because it moves too fast to follow.
