Scyther (Japanese: ストライク Strike) is a dual-type Bug/Flying Pokémon introduced in Generation I.
It evolves into Scizor when traded holding a Metal Coat.
Biology
Scyther is a bipedal, insectoid Pokémon. It is primarily green with thin, cream-colored sections between its head, thorax, and abdomen. The abdomen of a female will be slightly larger than that of a male. It has narrow eyes and three points on the back of its somewhat reptilian head. Its forearms consist of large, white scythes, which it uses for hunting as well as fighting. On its thighs are spikes of fur, and it has three clawed toes on its large feet. Two pairs of cream-colored wings extend from its back. While these wings do allow Scyther to fly, it rarely does so.
Scyther is an adept hunter that tears at its prey with its scythes. Its green coloration gives in excellent camouflage in the grass, and its quick movement is too fast to follow and increases the effectiveness of its scythes. By cutting through hard objects, it keeps its arms sharp. The anime has shown that wild Scyther form swarms. A new leader is elected when the current leader is defeated in a fight against a challenger; the former leader then leaves the swarm and goes into exile as a result. It has also been shown that Scyther becomes aggressive when faced with the color red. Although it is rare, Scyther can be found in grasslands.
In the anime
In the main series
Major appearances
Tracey's Scyther
Tracey caught an elderly Scyther in Tracey Gets Bugged after it resolved its conflict with a horde of Scyther it once led. Even in its old age, it is very aggressive, but for the same reasons, Tracey tries not to use it.
Bugsy's Scyther
Bugsy used a Scyther during his Gym battle against Ash in Gettin' The Bugs Out. This Scyther was trained to block Fire-type attacks by using Swords Dance as a fan. Ash discovered that this defensive strategy doesn't work if a Fire-type move is used from above, which allowed his Cyndaquil to win in his Gym match.

Unfortunately for Team Razor Wind, Gabite defeated them easily. It reappeared alongside its team in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky - Beyond Time & Darkness.

Trivia
- In the Pokémon Red and Blue beta, Scyther's prototype name was "Stryke". This is a corruption of the word "strike", which is also its romanized Japanese name.
- Despite having different base stats, Scyther and its evolved form both have a base stat total of 500. This makes Scyther the only pre-evolved form to have the same base stat total as its evolved form.
- Scyther can be seen as a parallel to Pinsir. Both of them are Bug-type Generation I Pokémon, with base stat totals of 500 and originally no evolution family. Scyther is exclusive to Pokémon Red, FireRed, Diamond, and Let's Go, Pikachu!, while Pinsir is exclusive to Pokémon Blue, LeafGreen, Pearl, and Let's Go, Eevee!.
- Scyther and Scizor, along with Pinsir, are the only Pokémon legitimately available in all 27 in-game Poké Ball variants.
Origin
Scyther draws a lot of inspiration from a praying mantis, likely the Japanese giant mantis. The aridi in the mantis' scientific name may explain Scyther's reptilian features, since it translates to "green dragon". It may also draw inspiration from mantidflies.
Name origin
Scyther is a combination of scythe and the suffix -er, in reference to its sharp blades.
Strike is literally strike.
