Scyther (Japanese: ストライク Strike) is a Grass-type Basic Pokémon card. It was first released as part of the Jungle expansion.
Card text
Jungle print
During your next turn, Scyther's Slash attack's base damage is 60 instead of 30.
Pokédex data (Jungle print)
With ninja-like agility and speed, it can create the illusion that there is more than one of it.
鋭い鎌で獲物を切り裂き、息の根をとめる。ごくまれに羽を使って飛ぶ。
Platinum print
During your next turn, Scyther's Slash attack's base damage is 60.
Pokédex data (Platinum print)
It tears and shreds prey with its wickedly sharp scythes. It very rarely spreads its wings to fly.
するどいカマで えものを きりさき いきのねを とめる。ごくまれに ハネをつかって とぶ。
Pokémon Trading Card Game Classic print
During your next turn, this Pokémon's Slash attack does 30 more damage (before applying Weakness and Resistance).
Pokédex data (Pokémon Trading Card Game Classic print)
With ninja-like agility and speed, it can create the illusion that there is more than one of it.
鋭い鎌で獲物を切り裂き、息の根をとめる。ごくまれに羽を使って飛ぶ。
Release information
This card was included in the Jungle expansion as both a Holofoil and Non Holofoil card, first released in the Japanese Pokémon Jungle expansion as only a Holofoil card. The Holofoil print of this card was later reprinted in the Base Set 2 expansion.
A special reprint was included in the Platinum expansion with the same artwork by Ken Sugimori, first released in the Japanese Galactic's Conquest expansion. This print modified some of the card text to bring it in line with modern card wording whilst still allowing it to retain its original effects.
In the Scarlet & Violet Series, this card was reprinted in Holofoil for the Venusaur & Lugia ex deck of the Pokémon Trading Card Game Classic. This reprint lacks a regulation mark and is thus not legal for tournament play.

Trivia
Early prints of the Unlimited Holofoil version were printed without the Jungle set symbol. This error was corrected later in the print run.
Origin
Swords Dance and Slash are both moves in the Pokémon games that Scyther can learn. This card's English Jungle Pokédex entry comes from Pokémon Red and Blue, though it is slightly reworded. The Japanese entry comes from Pokémon Red and Green. The Platinum Pokédex entry comes from Pokémon FireRed.
