History

Scyther showing off for its Trainer

Scyther debuted in SS006, where it was the last Bug-type Pokémon native to the Kanto region that Go needed to catch. It easily repelled Go's Poké Ball and sent him and Scorbunny flying. Later, Go battled the Mantis Pokémon briefly with his Scorbunny before finally catching it. Afterwards, it was seen with all of his other Pokémon before Professor Sakuragi suggested leaving it at his Institute.

In SS007, Go used Scyther in his first Pokémon battle during the Battle Frontier Flute Cup. It battled Houji's Mightyena, where it used Swords Dance before quickly falling to Mightyena's Fire Fang.

In SS015, Go uses Scyther alongside other Bug Pokémon to find the bone of a wild Cubone.

Personality and characteristics

Scyther is a fast and powerful Pokémon, thus giving Go the most trouble to capture out of all the Kanto-native Bug types he went after. It is enthusiastic about battling and staying active. In SS007, it followed Mimey's kung-fu exercises alongside its Trainer, Scorbunny, the Professor, and Koharu. It was later shadow-boxing as an effort to get Go's attention to bring it to the Battle Frontier Flute Cup.

Despite its strength and confidence, however, Go and Scyther are not as in sync with each other compared to Go's Scorbunny, and Go's cautious strategy in the first round of the Flute Cup led to Scyther's quick defeat. Scyther didn't appear too upset by the loss, returning from the Pokémon Center for another battle. Like Scorbunny, it seemed more concerned with how hard Go was taking his first defeat. Despite appearing to be a tough guy, Scyther enjoys a hug, as seen in SS011, when it accepted a hug from Ash's Dragonite.

Scyther also tends to get angry, as seen in SS015. When a group of Geodude threw snowballs at it, hitting it in the face, Scyther started chasing them.
