'''Scizor''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ハッサム''' ''Hassam'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Steel}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].


It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Scyther}} via [[Trade#Pokémon which evolve when traded|trade]] with a {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Metal Coat}}.
It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Scyther}} when [[Trade Evolution|traded]] while holding a [[Metal Coat]]. It is one of Scyther's final forms, the other being {{p|Kleavor}}.


==Biology==
(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data&rarr;Evolution data]] for more details.)
===Physiology===
Scizor has a similar appearance to its evolutionary predecessor {{p|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. Scizor also has crab-like claws, with yellow-and-black eye-like patterns on them that bear a faint resemblance to a {{p|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====
Scizor can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Scizor''' using the [[Scizorite]].
The female Scizor has a bigger abdomen than the male.


====Special abilities====
==Biology==
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.
[[File:Scizor no wings anime.png|thumb|left|250px|Scizor with its wings retracted]]
Scizor is a bipedal, {{wp|insecta|insectoid}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a red, metallic exoskeleton. It has gray, [[EP270|retractable]] forewings and hind wings with simple, curved venation. Its rounded head has three blunt horns extending above its forehead and eyes with dark yellow irises. Scizor's thin, black neck connects to a black, teardrop-shaped patch on its thorax. Scizor has broad shoulders and thin, segmented arms ending in large, round pincers, which comprise a third of Scizor's body weight. Scizor has a large, rounded abdomen with three black, chevron-shaped stripes extending from its waist down its front; female Scizor has larger abdomens than male Scizor. Scizor's legs are defined by large hip joints, thin thighs, and wide calves, and its feet end in a clawed toe on each side. Its arms appear similar to pincers of animals from {{wp|crustecean}} group like {{wp|crabs}} and the presence of markings resembling eyes gives the illusion of additional heads.


===Behavior===
Scizor's body and muscles are made of metal that is as hard as steel, with pincers strong enough to crush any hard object. They can be opened and closed like jaws and are patterned with black eyespots with yellow "pupils". It will raise its pincers and wave them around to scare off predators or foes, giving it the appearance of having three heads. When it identifies an enemy, Scizor will use its pincers to beat up the opponent to the point there is nothing but scrap left afterwards. Scizor is normally incapable of flight, instead it quickly flaps its wings to regulate its body temperature to prevent itself from becoming too hot and melting, although it still can hover and glide for short distances in the games and anime. It has tremendous power despite its slim body. Scizor is rarely found in the wild, though it can be found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}}.
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 being able to 'glide' with their wings in the anime, by doing things such as riding wind currents, suggesting their wings still possess minimal flight capability.


===Habitat===
===Forms===
[[File:Grassland.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]
Scizor can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Scizor.


===Diet===
Mega Scizor's pincers lengthen and develop serrations. The lower half of the pincers turn white and gain three-pointed spikes on the underside. The barbs on Mega Scizor's pincers can stab through concrete, and opponents caught in them cannot escape.<ref>http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Scizor</ref> Its eyespots, along with its actual eyes, are now blue; the former additionally gains a black rim. Additional pieces of black armoring appear on various areas of its body: a three-pointed crest on its forehead and striated coverings on its shoulders and thighs. Mega Scizor's legs are less detailed and resemble large, tapered spikes with white tips.

==In the anime==
While Mega Scizor is formidable, it cannot maintain this form for extended periods, as it is overflown with excess energy from its Mega Evolution and is unable to regulate its body temperature properly. After too long, its body starts to melt, losing the strength to wield its heavy pincers. Mega Scizor's pincers can rip anything they grab to shreds, although it prefers to beat things up instead of grasping them.

The [[Iron-Masked Marauder]] used a Scizor to retrieve {{mov|Celebi|Celebi|4}} in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]''.
===Evolution===
Scizor evolves from {{p|Scyther}}. It is one of Scyther's final forms. In the [[Hisui]] region, {{p|Kleavor}} is Scyther's other final form.


[[Gary Oak]] used a Scizor against {{Ash}} in ''[[EP270|Can't Beat the Heat!]]''

====Trophy information====
====In events====
This evolved form of {{p|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.

==Other appearances==
[[File:Pokkén Scizor.png|200px|thumb|Scizor in Pokkén Tournament]]
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
When released from a {{i|Poké Ball}}, Scizor will charge forward while flailing its claws, then leap high into the air and fall off the screen. Its attack pattern is similar to [[Marill (Pokémon)#Super Smash Bros. Melee|Marill]].
 
====Trophy information====
''This evolved form of {{p|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.''
 
===[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]===
Scizor makes a cameo appearance in the {{st|Kalos Pokémon League}}. When the stage transitions to the {{DL|Pokémon League (Kalos)|Ironworks Chamber}}, it can be seen in the background along with {{p|Steelix}}, {{p|Klinklang}}, and {{p|Honedge}}.
 
====Trophy information====
'''NA:''' ''Is that a three-headed monster?! No, wait... the left and right heads are actually claws! Creepy. Most creatures that have face-like patterns use them defensively to give themselves a chance to flee. Scizor throws that idea away and uses them to scare foes while it attacks!''
 
'''PAL:''' ''It may look like this Pokémon has three heads, but that's just what it wants you to think. Look closer and you'll see that two of them are actually claws. Most creatures with face-like markings use them to scare predators to give themselves a chance to run away, but Scizor seems more likely to attack while its foe is stunned!''

Scizor is a Battle Pokémon in the arcade and Nintendo Switch versions of Pokkén Tournament.

Its appearance on Kalos Pokémon League also returns. It also appears as a {{sbw|Spirits (characters)|Spirit}}.
[[File:UNITE Scizor.png|200px|left|thumb|Scizor in Pokémon UNITE]]
===[[Pokémon UNITE]]===

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
[[File:FlyingScizor.png|right|thumb|230px|A Scizor {{m|fly}}ing in the anime]]
* Scizor shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Kingler}}: They are both known as the Pincer Pokémon. However, Scizor was known as the Scissors Pokémon in [[Generation II]] and has been called the Scissor Pokémon in the {{pkmn|anime}}.
* Although Scizor cannot learn the move {{m|Fly}}, and its [[Pokédex]] entries (as well as in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]) say that Scizor doesn't use its wings to fly, Scizor has been seen being able to still use its wings to 'glide' in the anime. In the anime episode ''[[AG166|Curbing the Crimson Tide]]'', Brock notes that the gusts of wind blowing around the tall buildings on which they stood were helping {{ka|Luna}}'s Scizor to 'fly' around them.
* Scizor is the only {{type|Steel}} Pokémon to have {{DL|List of Pokémon by shape|Pokémon with two or more pairs of wings|two or more pairs of wings}}.
* Scizor shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Kingler}}. They are both known as Pincer Pokémon, though Scizor has also been called the Scissors Pokémon.
* Despite having different base stats, Scizor, {{p|Kleavor}}, and {{p|Scyther}} all have a base stat total of 500. As such, Scizor and Kleavor are the only Pokémon to not have their base stat total changed upon evolving.
** Coincidentally, both Scizor and Kingler have the highest {{Stat|Attack}} stat of Pokémon of their primary type, each having a [[base stat|base Attack]] of 130.
* Mega Scizor is tied with {{me|Pinsir}}, Mega {{p|Heracross}}, and {{p|Genesect}} for the highest base stat total of all {{type|Bug}} Pokémon.
* Despite having different base stats, Scizor and its pre-evolution, {{p|Scyther}}, have the same base stat total: 500.
* Scizor can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Steelix}}:
** Therefore, Scizor is only Pokémon which its base stats is not changed after evolution.
** Both have pre-evolved forms from [[Generation I]] and were introduced in [[Generation II]].
* Scizor is one of the only three Pokémon to gain [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] from {{m|Steel Wing}}. The other two are {{p|Skarmory}} and {{p|Empoleon}}.
** Both evolve via trading with a [[Metal Coat]].
* In previous generation, Scizor and its pre-evolution capable to learn {{m|Razor Wind}} via breeding. At Generation IV, this move can be obtained via leveling up.
** After evolving, both lose one of their pre-evolved form's [[type]]s and gain a {{t|Steel}} type.
* In Generation III and onwards, Scizor is able to learn three "increasing two-stages stats" moves via level-up. Those move are {{m|Agility}}, {{m|Iron Defense}}, and {{m|Swords Dance}}.
** Both gain a [[Mega Evolution]] in [[Generation VI]].
*Scizor has the highest {{stat|Attack}} of all {{type2|Bug}} Pokémon and is second only to {{p|Metagross}} for highest Attack of all {{type2|Steel}} Pokémon.
** Both lose 40 points of base {{stat|Speed}} upon evolving.
*Scizor is the only {{2t|Bug|Steel}} Pokémon to not be classified as a Bagworm Pokémon.
 
**It is also the only Bug/Steel Pokémon that evolves by a method other than leveling up.
* Though its entries mention using both of its claws to act as decoys to scare the foe, Scizor cannot have the ability {{a|Intimidate}}.

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

It evolves from Scyther when traded while holding a Metal Coat. It is one of Scyther's final forms, the other being Kleavor.

(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to Game data→Evolution data for more details.)

Scizor can Mega Evolve into Mega Scizor using the Scizorite.

Biology

Scizor with its wings retracted

Scizor is a bipedal, insectoid Pokémon with a red, metallic exoskeleton. It has gray, retractable forewings and hind wings with simple, curved venation. Its rounded head has three blunt horns extending above its forehead and eyes with dark yellow irises. Scizor's thin, black neck connects to a black, teardrop-shaped patch on its thorax. Scizor has broad shoulders and thin, segmented arms ending in large, round pincers, which comprise a third of Scizor's body weight. Scizor has a large, rounded abdomen with three black, chevron-shaped stripes extending from its waist down its front; female Scizor has larger abdomens than male Scizor. Scizor's legs are defined by large hip joints, thin thighs, and wide calves, and its feet end in a clawed toe on each side. Its arms appear similar to pincers of animals from crustecean group like crabs and the presence of markings resembling eyes gives the illusion of additional heads.

Scizor's body and muscles are made of metal that is as hard as steel, with pincers strong enough to crush any hard object. They can be opened and closed like jaws and are patterned with black eyespots with yellow "pupils". It will raise its pincers and wave them around to scare off predators or foes, giving it the appearance of having three heads. When it identifies an enemy, Scizor will use its pincers to beat up the opponent to the point there is nothing but scrap left afterwards. Scizor is normally incapable of flight, instead it quickly flaps its wings to regulate its body temperature to prevent itself from becoming too hot and melting, although it still can hover and glide for short distances in the games and anime. It has tremendous power despite its slim body. Scizor is rarely found in the wild, though it can be found in grasslands.

Forms

Scizor can Mega Evolve into Mega Scizor.

Mega Scizor's pincers lengthen and develop serrations. The lower half of the pincers turn white and gain three-pointed spikes on the underside. The barbs on Mega Scizor's pincers can stab through concrete, and opponents caught in them cannot escape.[1] Its eyespots, along with its actual eyes, are now blue; the former additionally gains a black rim. Additional pieces of black armoring appear on various areas of its body: a three-pointed crest on its forehead and striated coverings on its shoulders and thighs. Mega Scizor's legs are less detailed and resemble large, tapered spikes with white tips.

While Mega Scizor is formidable, it cannot maintain this form for extended periods, as it is overflown with excess energy from its Mega Evolution and is unable to regulate its body temperature properly. After too long, its body starts to melt, losing the strength to wield its heavy pincers. Mega Scizor's pincers can rip anything they grab to shreds, although it prefers to beat things up instead of grasping them.

Sun It uses its wings to adjust its body temperature. Otherwise, its metal body would become too hot and melt in the heat of battle.
Moon Once it has identified an enemy, this Pokémon smashes it mercilessly with pincers hard as steel.
Ultra Sun Its body is like steel. Its tough, heavy pincers are more suited to smashing enemies than grabbing them.
Ultra Moon Once it has identified something as an enemy, it will continue beating them with its steel-hard pincers until there's nothing left but scraps.
Mega Scizor
Sun The excess energy that bathes this Pokémon keeps it in constant danger of overflow. It can't sustain a battle over long periods of time.
Moon Due to the effects of Mega Evolution, its pincers have taken on a more diabolical form, ripping anything they pinch to shreds.
Ultra Sun It stores the excess energy from Mega Evolution, so after a long time passes, its body starts to melt.
Ultra Moon It's better at beating things than grasping them. When it battles for a long time, the weight of its pincers becomes too much to bear.

Other appearances

Scizor in Pokkén Tournament

Super Smash Bros. Melee

When released from a Poké Ball, Scizor will charge forward while flailing its claws, then leap high into the air and fall off the screen. Its attack pattern is similar to Marill.

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.

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

Scizor makes a cameo appearance in the Kalos Pokémon League. When the stage transitions to the Ironworks Chamber, it can be seen in the background along with Steelix, Klinklang, and Honedge.

Trophy information

NA: Is that a three-headed monster?! No, wait... the left and right heads are actually claws! Creepy. Most creatures that have face-like patterns use them defensively to give themselves a chance to flee. Scizor throws that idea away and uses them to scare foes while it attacks!

PAL: It may look like this Pokémon has three heads, but that's just what it wants you to think. Look closer and you'll see that two of them are actually claws. Most creatures with face-like markings use them to scare predators to give themselves a chance to run away, but Scizor seems more likely to attack while its foe is stunned!

Pokkén Tournament

Main article: Scizor (Pokkén)

Scizor is a Battle Pokémon in the arcade and Nintendo Switch versions of Pokkén Tournament. Its moves include Swords Dance, Metal Claw, U-turn, Aerial Ace, Bullet Punch, X-Scissor, and Bug Bite. Upon entering Synergy Burst, it Mega Evolves and can use the Burst Attack Iron Meteor Dive.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Scizor returns as a Poké Ball item as it did in Super Smash Bros. Melee. It retains its movement and actions from prior games, using Metal Claw to fly at and slash opponents in its way with great speed. It then jumps off the screen. Its appearance on Kalos Pokémon League also returns. It also appears as a Spirit.

Scizor in Pokémon UNITE

Pokémon UNITE

Main article: Scizor (UNITE)

Scizor is playable through obtaining a Unite License. It is a melee all-rounder that starts as Scyther, which evolves into Scizor only if Bullet Punch is chosen at level 5. If Dual Wingbeat is chosen, Scyther will remain.

Trivia

Origin

Scizor may draw inspiration from mantises or wasp mantidflies. Its arms appear similar to pincers of animals from crustacean group like crabs and due to the eye-like markings on them, they look like additional heads.

The additions on Mega Scizor's body may be based on samurai armor.

Name origin

Scizor may be a corruption of scissor, or a combination of scissor and razor.

Hassam may be a corruption of 剪む hasamu (to clip or snip).
