History

Ash's Pikachu and Scyther

Wild Scyther stay in groups with the strongest in charge. When another Scyther defeats the leader, it is made leader and the ex-leader is no longer allowed to be part of the group. Ash and his friends came across an old Scyther that had suffered such a fate in Tracey Gets Bugged. It was very weak but continued to fight their Pokémon out of pride. Eventually, Tracey managed to capture it in order to bring it to the Pokémon Center to be healed. Though Scyther later managed to rescue its former group from Team Rocket, it left with Tracey and became his main battler. However, due to its age, Scyther often becomes tired quickly.

After its initial introduction to the rest of the group's Pokémon, Scyther briefly feuded with Ash's Charizard in A Way Off Day Off. However, the two resolve their differences to work together to defeat Team Rocket.

Because it is elderly, Tracey's Scyther looks slightly different from other Scyther. It has what appears to be fur growing on the sides of its face while younger ones have spikes in the same place. Also its wings are nicked in some places, and it is missing its two top fangs.

Scyther has rarely appeared since Tracey arrived in Pallet Town. However, it was the Pokémon that Tracey used in the battle against Butch and Cassidy when they stole all of the Poké Balls in the lab in Showdown at the Oak Corral. It also appeared in Oak-napped! where Tracey used it to battle Butch's Mightyena. However, its age got the better of it and it was unable to complete the battle. Tracey recalled it back to its Poké Ball before it could get hurt.
