Strategy Using Scyther

Ah, one of my many beloved bugs we have here. A fiece attacker if I ever saw one, but lacking on the defenses, sadly. However, with his great speed and if you use his type advantages wisely, he could be a very deadly weapon to have on your side. Swords Dance has two uses on Scyther, one of them is, of course, giving his attack a much needed boost so he can use his two STAB attacks with maxinum carnage. The other use, is if you run into an opponent that basically laughs at bug and flying attacks, you simply baton pass the boosted attack away to a more suiting pokemon so it can deal a load of damage, and possible sweep if you pick your pokemon right.

If you have complaints about this set and description please e-mail me at sirchristheknight@yahoo.com, thanks!

Strategy Against Scyther

Scyther is a phsyical attacker, simple as that. The thing to against them is have something with heavy defense, but can still attack. One of the Regis would be a very good bet versus this Scyther, Registeel even moreso would be your best bet. But there are others. You could, of course, go for the type advantage with Regirock, it is 4x weak to rock, afterall. Alternatively, just go for any Pokémon with a type advantage

Animé Appearences

Scyther has had many Animé Appearence, although most were after it was captured by Tracey. I will list what it does in the episodes and movies where it isn't owned by Tracey. First, it was owned by the Yas Gym in one of their brawls to be the official gym of Dark City. Then it was owned by a trainer who got invited to New Island by Mewtwo, where it was cloned. Next it was in a flashback of Otoshi's battle in the Fuschia Gym. Then Ash battled one in the fourth round of the Indigo League and won. Next it was Wild on Pinkin Island. After that, it was owned by Danny, the Navel Island Gym Leader and was used in his "challenges" against Ash. Then Tracey Caught it. Then in Wired For Battle, we saw it in Training by some Trainers. Then it was owned by Bugsy who used it in his Gym Battle against Ash. Next it was owned by a Trainer at the Trade fest. After that, Casey tried catching one in the Bug Catching Contest. Then it was used by Some Trainers. After that, the Hunter used it to try and capture Celebi (should this go here or at the start?). After that, it was used by a Trainer in a battle against a Hoothoot. After that it was used in the Extreme Pokémon Racing. Then a flashback to Ash's Battle With Bugsy. Then it was seen in the Legend of Ho-oh as a dead Pokémon, and finally, after that it was used in one of the training rooms in the Rustboro City Gym Episode 042: Showdown at Dark City Movie 1: Mewtwo Strikes Back!
