Scizor (Japanese: ハッサム Hassam) is a dual-type Bug/Steel Pokémon.

It evolves from Scyther via trade with a Metal Coat.

Biology

Physiology

Scizor has a similar appearance to its evolutionary predecessor Scyther, except with a thick, metallic exoskeleton, which comes at the expense of much of the speed Scyther had. Scizor also has crab-like claws with eye-like patterns on them that bear a faint resemblance to a Trapinch's head. Scizor has two-toed feet with one toe in front and the other in the back. Scizor has two-lobed wings like a butterfly.

Gender differences

The female Scizor has a bigger abdomen than the male.

Special abilities

Scizor's abilities are basically stronger versions of Scyther's. However, it cannot match its pre-evolution's speed.

Behavior

Scizor are known to upraise their claws and wave them around to scare others, as their claws look like two heads. A Scizor's wings are not meant for flying but rather used to cool down body temperature, however Scizor have been seen flying with wings in the Pokémon anime.

Diet

In the anime

Minnie's Scizor in action.

Scizor was first seen under the ownership of a Trainer named Shingo who thought he could always predict the outcome of a match by the database on his computer in Wired For Battle.

Vicious used a Scizor to retrieve Celebi in Celebi: Voice of the Forest.

Gary Oak used a Scizor against Ash in The Ties That Bind.

In A Judgment Brawl, Katie used a Scizor to battle Ash's Swellow during the Hoenn League. Katie's Scizor lost despite it having the type advantage.

In Curbing the Crimson Tide, a girl named Luna had a Scizor disguise itself as "Red Lightning". Red Lightning went around a city, battling other people's Pokémon. Red Lightning would then scribble on the defeated Pokémon's face. The disguised Scizor's reign of terror ended when Ash's Pikachu blasted its costume off and Ash's Sceptile defeated it in battle.

It also appeared in Gymbaliar! under the ownership of a girl named Minnie. It fought against Brock's Croagunk, at the time under the ownership of Jessie, and lost.

A Scizor appeared in Camping It Up!.

Another one appeared in Steeling Peace of Mind!.

Scizor is a more dangerous version of Marill. Not only does it do more damage but it will fly around the screen targeting an opponent.

Trophy information

This evolved form of Scyther has arms ending in large pincers with distinctive eye-spot markings. It's unable to fly very far with its wings, but it can affect its body temperature by flapping them at high speeds. Its sleek look has made Scizor quite popular among collectors.

Trivia

  • Although Scizor cannot learn the move Fly and its Pokédex entries and Pokémon Mystery Dungeon say that Scizor doesn't use its wings to fly, Scizor has a modified version of flying in the anime. In the anime episode Curbing the Crimson Tide, Brock notes that the gusts of wind blowing around the tall buildings on which they stood were helping Luna's Scizor to 'fly' around them.
  • Scizor shares the same species name with Kingler. They are both known as Pincer Pokémon, though Scizor has also been called the Scissors Pokémon.
  • Despite having different base stats, Scizor and its pre-evolution, Scyther, have the same base stat total: 500.
  • Scizor is one of the three only Pokémon to get STAB from Steel Wing. The other two are Skarmory and Empoleon.
  • Scizor is one of the few Pokémon that have a color change every generation, it is dark red in Generation II, red-orange in Generation III, crimson in Diamond and Pearl, and back to dark red in Platinum.

Origin

Scizor appears to share characteristics with flying red ants and praying mantises.

Name origin

Scizor's name is a corruption of scissor and razor. Its Japanese name is a corruption of 剪む hasamu, to clip or snip.

In other languages

  • German: Scherox - From Schere (scissors) and possibly ferox (Latin for wild) or oxidation, in reference to its rust-red color.
  • French: Cizayox - From a corruption of cisailles (hedge clippers), and possibly oxidation, in reference to its rust-red color.
  • Korean: 핫삼 Hassam
