Flavor Text
Sword As Scyther fights more and more battles, its scythes become sharper and sharper. With a single slice, Scyther can fell a massive tree.
Shield 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.
Brilliant Diamond It is nearly impossible to parry its attacking scythes. Its movements are like a ninja's.
Shining Pearl
Legends: Arceus 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.
