Scyther (Japanese: ストライク Strike, German: Sichlor, French: Insecateur) is a Bug/Flying-type Pokémon.

Pokédex entries

Pokémon Yellow

Leaps out of tall grass and slices pray with its scythes. The movement looks like that of a ninja.

Pokémon Emerald

Its blindingly fast speed adds to the sharpness of its twin forearm scythes. The scythes can slice through thick logs in one wicked stroke.

Pokémon FireRed

It tears and shreds prey with its wickedly sharp scythes. It very rarely spreads its wings to fly.

Name origin

Scyther's name is a reference to the scythe-like blades on its forearms. Its Japanese name may just be a reference to its deadly bladed strikes.

It draws much inspiration from a praying mantis.

Scyther's proto-type name was "Stryke," a misspelling of the word "strike."
