Character info
The character
Scyther is a Bug/Flying-type Pokémon known for its speed and the razor-sharp scythes on its forearms. It is classified as the Mantis Pokémon, and in the Pokédex lore it moves so quickly through tall grass that its motions are too fast for the eye to follow. It has appeared throughout the Pokémon anime and games as a popular early-route encounter prized by trainers for its offensive capability.
