Scyther Gen 3 Learnset (2024)

FAQs

Is Scyther more powerful than Scizor? ›

Scyther has more weaknesses and lower Attack, but is much faster than Scizor.

The best moves for Scyther are Fury Cutter and Bug Buzz when attacking Pokémon in Gyms.

Oh wow power. It doesn't, but Fury Cutter attacks really fast. With STAB, its DPS is nearly that of Steel Wing (Scyther's other move), and Steel sucks offensively anyways. So as much as it seems to suck, Fury Cutter is probably the best option for Scyther.

A max CP of 2706 is pretty lackluster for Master League, and Bug-type attacks aren't as valuable in this league either.

The answer to when you should evolve is simple: evolve as soon as you have all of the Scyther moves you want. Any moves you miss for Scizor can be obtained with Heart Scales from the Move Re-learner in Blackthorn City. I'm a topic killer.

Every level the stats are recalculated taking into consideration the EVs, IVs level etc. It will also recalculate them on evolution as well. This means you can have a level 100 max attack scyther, evolve it and you will have a max attack scizor.

You want both, so you level Scyther to level 21 to get Wing Attack, then evolve to Scizor. Scizor is too high in level to get Metal Claw now, but you can take it to the Move Relearner and recover Metal Claw because it's one of Scizor's level up moves.

Beating Shadow Scyther should take 1 trainers with Pokemon of this strength. It will be a difficult fight, make sure everyone uses their best Pokemon.

Its Hidden Ability is Steadfast, which increases its Speed stat by one stage each time it flinches. Scyther gain the opportunity to evolve into Scizor when traded to another game holding a Metal Coat.

Hidden Power Rock can be used to hit Flying-types like Altaria while maintaining coverage for Arcanine and Walrein as they switch in. Both Hidden Power choices lower Scyther's Speed IVs, which guarantees opposing base 105 Speed Pokemon can revenge kill it, so Hidden Power Ground, Bug, and Flying are preferable choices.

Is Air Slash a good move for Scyther? ›

The best moves forScyther are Air Slash and Bug Buzz when attacking Pokémon in Gyms.

The best Pokemon Go Scyther counters are Mega Diancie, Shadow Rampardos, Shadow Rhyperior, Rampardos, Shadow Regigigas & Mega Aerodactyl.

Choosing which Pokemon is better fit for our team comes down to preferences and its base stats. If you want a hard-hitter that has moderate speed, then you're better off with Kleavor. If you want a sturdy Pokemon with only one Type weakness, then you'll want Scizor.

A Scyther can evolve into Kleavor at any level. All it takes is having a Black Augurite in your Satchel, selecting it, and giving it to a Scyther in your party. If you follow the three easy steps below you'll end up with a Kleavor.

Although it is rare, Scyther can be found in grasslands or forested areas where it cut down many trees.

Be careful, though—Scyther is less durable than Scizor. In contrast, Scizor's Unite Move deals less damage, but it can stun an opposing Pokémon, making it a powerful disruptive tool that indirectly increases Scizor's durability.

The most offensive core and arguably the best core that Bug-type teams have in this metagame is Volcarona, Mega Pinsir, and Scizor.

The best Pokemon Go Scyther counters are Mega Diancie, Shadow Rampardos, Shadow Rhyperior, Rampardos, Shadow Regigigas & Mega Aerodactyl.
