The large, wickedly sharp scythes on its forearms are truly fearsome weapons. Prey's attempts to flee are unfailingly thwarted by this Pokémon's nimble motions.
If you come across an area in a forest where a lot of the trees have been cut down, what you’ve found is a Scyther’s territory.
As Scyther fights more and more battles, its scythes become sharper and sharper. With a single slice, Scyther can fell a massive tree.
Some call it a ninja. Its movements— imperceptibly quick—are sufficient to cleave the air in two. It’s very popular in Alola.
Its two sharp scythes are more than just weapons. It uses them with dexterity to dress its prey before eating.
While young, they live together deep in the mountains, training themselves in how to fight with their scythes and move at high speeds.
