In-Depth Analysis
With a base stat total of 500, Scyther plays as a fast attacker that leans on outspeeding threats and hitting hard. Its standout stat is Attack at 110, while Special Attack (55) is the clear soft spot — build sets that protect that weakness.
Defensively, the Bug, Flying combination gives Scyther 3 resistances, 1 immunity, and 5 weaknesses to plan around. Watch out for Rock moves in particular — they land for 4× damage. Offensively it pressures 5 types with super-effective STAB coverage.
A low catch rate of 45 makes Scyther a genuinely tough catch; bring strong balls and status moves. It levels on the Medium experience curve. Defeating it grants Attack +1 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
