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
Scizor with its wings retracted
Scizor is an insectoid Pokémon with a red, metallic exoskeleton. It has gray, retractable forewings and hind wings with simple, curved venation. Its head is kite-shaped with three blunt horns extending past its forehead. Its eyes are large with white sclerae, orange irises, and black pupils. Scizor's neck and part of its chest give the appearance of being exposed: they show black skin, and are surrounded by the raised shell of Scizor's chest. The chest is small, ending in a large abdomen with three black, pointed stripes below the waist; the female has a larger abdomen than the male. Scizor has broad shoulders and thin, segmented arms ending in large, round pincers. The pincers, which can be opened and closed like jaws, are patterned with black, eye-like circles with yellow "pupils." Scizor's legs are defined by large hip joints, thin thighs, and wide calves, its feet ending in one clawed toe in front and another in the back.
Scizor's claws are as hard as steel, and are strong enough to crush any hard object. It will raise its claws and wave them around to scare off predators or foes, giving it the appearance of having three heads. Scizor is incapable of flight, instead quickly flapping its wings to regulate its body temperature. It lives in grasslands.
In the anime
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.
