Scizor (Japanese: ハッサム Hassam) is a dual-type Bug/Steel Pokémon.
It evolves from Scyther when traded holding a Metal Coat.
Biology
Physiology
Scizor has a similar appearance to its evolutionary predecessor Scyther, except with a thick, red metallic exoskeleton, which comes at the expense of much of the speed Scyther had, but makes up for it by having a higher Defense and Attack. Instead of scythes, Scizor now also has crab-like claws, with yellow-and-black eye-like patterns on them that bear a faint resemblance to a Trapinch's head. Scizor has two-toed feet with one clawed toe in front and the other in the back. Scizor has a pair of retractable, two-lobed wings, similar to that of a butterfly. Aside from its primarily red coloration, Scizor has accentuations of black on its neck, chest, and abdomen, and yellow eyes.

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. It is however, stronger and much more durable, and capable of learning Steel-type moves.
Behavior
Scizor are known to upraise their claws and wave them around to scare off predators or foes, as their claws look like two heads. A Scizor's wings are not meant for flying but rather used to control body temperature; however, Scizor have been seen being able to 'glide' with their wings in the anime, by doing things such as riding wind currents, suggesting that their wings still possess minimal flight capability.
