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

It evolves from Scyther when traded holding a Metal Coat.

Biology

Physiology

Scizor with its wings retracted

Scizor has a similar appearance to its evolutionary predecessor Scyther, except with a thick, red metallic exoskeleton. Instead of scythes, Scizor now has crab-like claws, with yellow-and-black eye-like patterns on them. 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

The female Scizor has a bigger abdomen than the male.

Special abilities

Scizor's abilities are similar but adjusted versions of Scyther's. While it cannot match its pre-evolution's speed, it is stronger, more durable, and more resistant, while also being capable of learning Steel-type moves. It has a steel-hard body and can crush hard objects with its pincers.

Behavior

Scizor are known to upraise their claws and wave them around to scare off predators or foes, as their claws look like two heads. A Scizor's wings are not meant for flying but rather used to control 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 that their wings still possess minimal flight capability.

Habitat

They usually live in grassland areas.

Major appearances

Scizor was first seen under the ownership of a Trainer named Shingo who thought he could always predict the outcome of a match by the database on his computer in Wired For Battle. In the same episode, the Trainer Muramasa has a Scizor named Masamune.

The Iron-Masked Marauder used a Scizor to retrieve Celebi in Celebi: Voice of the Forest.

Gary Oak used a Scizor against Ash in Can't Beat the Heat!. It beat Ash's Snorlax and Muk, but lost to Ash's Charizard.

In A Judgment Brawl, Katie used a Scizor to battle Ash's Swellow during the Ever Grande Conference. Katie's Scizor lost.

In Curbing the Crimson Tide, a girl named Luna had a Scizor disguise itself as "Red Lightning". Red Lightning went around a city, battling other people's Pokémon. Red Lightning would then scribble on the defeated Pokémon's face. The disguised Scizor's reign of terror ended when Ash's Pikachu blasted its costume off and Ash's Sceptile defeated it in battle.

Scizor also appeared in Gymbaliar! under the ownership of a girl named Minnie. It fought against Jessie's Croagunk and lost.

A Scizor under the ownership of McCann battled Ash's Gliscor in Mastering Current Events!.

In Zoroark: Master of Illusions, two Scizor are owned by Goone.

Minor appearances

A Scizor was one of the Pokémon seen at the Pokémon Swap Meet in Tricks of the Trade.

A Scizor appeared in Team Rocket's fantasy in Imitation Confrontation.

A Scizor appeared in Around the Whirlpool as part of Brock's example.

A Scizor was seen training alongside its Trainer in You're a Star, Larvitar!.

A Scizor appeared in The Saffron Con, where it cut Jessie's hair as it was tangled with James's Cacnea.

Trivia

  • Scizor shares the same species name with Kingler. They are both known as the Pincer Pokémon (though Scizor was known as the Scissors Pokémon in Generation II and has been called the Scissor Pokémon in the anime).
