Important notice! Pokemon Scirother is a fictional character of humans.
There is only single Creator of everything and anything
All Pokemon are made up by humans based on real animals or existing objects.
The stroies of Pokemon are all fictional and in most cases illogical or nonsense.
Games are for only fun time and do never put any spiritual/religional or deity meaning into them!

Scyther (Japanese: ストライク Strike) is a dual-type Bug/Flying Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

It evolves into Scizor when traded holding a Metal Coat.

Biology

Scyther is a bipedal, insectoid Pokémon. It is primarily green with thin, cream-colored sections between its head, thorax, and abdomen. The abdomen of a female will be slightly larger than that of a male. It has narrow eyes and three points on the back of its somewhat reptilian head. Its forearms consist of large, white scythes, which it uses for hunting as well as fighting. On its thighs are spikes of fur, and it has three clawed toes on its large feet. Two pairs of cream-colored wings extend from its back. While these wings do allow Scyther to fly, it rarely does so.

Scyther is an adept hunter that tears at its prey with its scythes. Its green coloration gives in excellent camouflage in the grass, and its quick movement is too fast to follow and increases the effectiveness of its scythes. Its movements are said to be similar to a ninja. By cutting through hard objects, it keeps its arms sharp. It can also sharpen its scythes through battling as well. It can cut down a massive tree with just a single slice. The anime has shown that wild Scyther form swarms. A new leader is elected when the current leader is defeated in a fight against a challenger; the former leader then leaves the swarm and goes into exile as a result. It has also been shown that Scyther becomes aggressive when faced with the color red. Although it is rare, Scyther can be found in grasslands or forested areas where it cut down many trees.

Major appearances

Tracey's Scyther

In Tracey Gets Bugged, Tracey caught an elderly Scyther after it resolved its conflict with a horde of Scyther it once led. Even in its old age, it is very aggressive, but for the same reasons, Tracey tries not to use it.

Bugsy's Scyther

In Gettin' The Bugs Out, Bugsy used a Scyther during his Gym battle against Ash. This Scyther was trained to block Fire-type attacks by using Swords Dance as a fan. Ash discovered that this defensive strategy doesn't work if a Fire-type move is used from above, which allowed his Cyndaquil to win in his Gym match.

Goh's Scyther

In Working My Way Back to Mew!, Goh caught a Scyther. In Searching for Chivalry!, it evolved into a Scizor.

The trio of clawed Pokémon were blasted out of the Wigglytuff Guild. They overheard that Team Poképals were assigned the task of traveling to the Labyrinth Cave to get a Gabite Scale for an ailing Shinx, and decided to attempt beating them to the item. Unfortunately for Team Razor Wind, Gabite defeated them easily. It reappeared alongside its team in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky - Beyond Time & Darkness.

Trivia

  • In the Pokémon Red and Blue beta, Scyther's prototype name was "Stryke". This is a corruption of the word "strike", which is also its romanized Japanese name.
  • Despite having different base stats, Scyther and its evolved form both have a base stat total of 500. This makes Scyther the only pre-evolved form to have the same base stat total as its evolved form.
  • Scyther can be seen as a parallel to Pinsir. Both of them are Bug-type Generation I Pokémon, with base stat totals of 500 and originally no evolution family. Scyther is exclusive to Pokémon Red, FireRed, Diamond, and Let's Go, Pikachu!, while Pinsir is exclusive to Pokémon Blue, LeafGreen, Pearl, and Let's Go, Eevee!.

Origin

Scyther seems to be based on the Japanese giant mantis with arms shaped like scythes. It also possesses some reptilian characteristics (e.g. teeth, claws, bipedal stance) that give it similarities to dromaeosaurid dinosaurs. As indicated in its Pokédex entries, it may also be based on a ninja.

Name origin

Scyther may be a combination of scythe and the suffix -er (something that does an action).

Strike is literally strike.

Scizor (Japanese: ハッサム Hassam) is a dual-type Bug/Steel Pokémon introduced in Generation II.

It evolves from Scyther when traded holding a Metal Coat.

Scizor can Mega Evolve into Mega Scizor using the Scizorite.

Biology

 
Scizor's retracted wings

Scizor is a bipedal, insectoid Pokémon with a red, metallic exoskeleton. It has gray, retractable forewings and hind wings with simple, curved venation. Its head is kite-shaped with three blunt horns extending above its forehead, and dark yellow eyes. Scizor's neck and part of its thorax give the appearance of being exposed: they show black skin and are surrounded by its raised exoskeleton. Scizor has a large abdomen with three black, pointed stripes below the waist; the female has a larger abdomen than the male. Scizor has broad shoulders and thin, segmented arms ending in large, round pincers, which make up a third of Scizor's body weight. Scizor's legs are defined by large hip joints, thin thighs, and wide calves, its feet ending in one clawed toe in front and another in the back.

Mega Scizor's pincers lengthen and develop serrations. The lower half of the claws turn white and gain three-pointed spikes on the underside. The barbs on Mega Scizor's claws can stab through concrete, and opponents caught in them are unable to escape.[1] Its eyespots are now blue with a thin black rim. Though they lack the black rim, its eyes are blue as well. Additional pieces of black armoring appear on various areas of its body: a three-pointed crest on its forehead and striated coverings on its shoulders and thighs. Mega Scizor's legs are less detailed and resemble large, tapered spikes with white tips.

Scizor's body is as hard as steel, with claws strong enough to crush any hard object. They can be opened and closed like jaws, and are patterned with black, eyespots with yellow "pupils". Its muscles are said to be made of metal. It will raise its claws and wave them around to scare off predators or foes, giving it the appearance of having three heads. When it identifies an enemy, Scizor will use its claw to beat up the opponent to the point there is nothing but scrap left afterward. Scizor is incapable of flight, instead quickly flapping its wings to regulate its body temperature. It does this to prevent its body from becoming too hot and melting. It has tremendous power despite its slim body. Scizor is rarely found in the wild, though it can be found in grasslands.

While Mega Scizor is formidable, it cannot maintain this form for extended periods of time; after too long, its body starts to melt and it loses the strength to wield its heavy pincers. The reason is due to it being overflown with excess energy from its Mega Evolution, unable to properly regulate its body temperature. Mega Scizor uses its pincers to rip anything it grabs to shreds. It prefers to beat up the opponents instead of grasping them.

Other appearances

 
Scizor in Pokkén Tournament

Super Smash Bros. Melee

When released from a Poké Ball, Scizor will charge forward while flailing its claws, then leap high into the air and fall off the screen. Its attack pattern is similar to Marill.

Trophy information

This evolved form of Scyther has arms ending in large pincers with distinctive eye-spot markings. It's unable to fly very far with its wings, but it can affect its body temperature by flapping them at high speeds. Its sleek look has made Scizor quite popular among collectors.

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

Scizor makes a cameo appearance in the Kalos Pokémon League. When the stage transitions to the Ironworks Chamber, it can be seen in the background along with Steelix, Klinklang, and Honedge.

Trophy information

NA: Is that a three-headed monster?! No, wait... the left and right heads are actually claws! Creepy. Most creatures that have face-like patterns use them defensively to give themselves a chance to flee. Scizor throws that idea away and uses them to scare foes while it attacks!

PAL: It may look like this Pokémon has three heads, but that's just what it wants you to think. Look closer and you'll see that two of them are actually claws. Most creatures with face-like markings use them to scare predators to give themselves a chance to run away, but Scizor seems more likely to attack while its foe is stunned!

Pokkén Tournament DX

Scizor is a playable character in the arcade and Nintendo Switch versions of Pokkén Tournament.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

 
Scizor in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Scizor returns as a Poké Ball item as it did in Super Smash Bros. Melee. It retains its movement and actions from prior games, using Metal Claw to fly at and slash opponents in its way with great speed. It then jumps off the screen. It also appears as a Spirit.

Sun It uses its wings to adjust its body temperature. Otherwise, its metal body would become too hot and melt in the heat of battle.
Moon Once it has identified an enemy, this Pokémon smashes it mercilessly with pincers hard as steel.

Ultra Moon Once it has identified something as an enemy, it will continue beating them with its steel-hard pincers until there's nothing left but scraps.
Mega Scizor
Sun The excess energy that bathes this Pokémon keeps it in constant danger of overflow. It can't sustain a battle over long periods of time.
Moon Due to the effects of Mega Evolution, its pincers have taken on a more diabolical form, ripping anything they pinch to shreds.
Ultra Sun It stores the excess energy from Mega Evolution, so after a long time passes, its body starts to melt.
Ultra Moon It's better at beating things than grasping them. When it battles for a long time, the weight of its pincers becomes too much to bear.

Sword Bulky pincers account for one third of Scizor's body weight. A single swing of one of these pincers will crush a boulder completely.

Trivia

  • Scizor shares its category with Kingler. They are both known as the Pincer Pokémon (though Scizor was known as the Scissors Pokémon in Generation II and has been called the Scissor Pokémon in the anime).
  • Despite having different base stats, Scizor and its pre-evolved form both have a base stat total of 500. In turn, Scizor is the only Pokémon to not have its base stat total changed upon evolving. Scyther is faster, whereas Scizor has higher attack and defense.
  • Mega Scizor is tied with Mega Pinsir, Mega Heracross, and Genesect for the highest base stat total of all Bug-type Pokémon.
  • Scizor can be seen as a parallel to Steelix. They both have pre-evolved forms from Generation I, and both evolve via trading with a Metal Coat in which both change a typing to the Steel type. Both Pokémon also gain a Mega Evolution in Generation VI.

Origin

Scizor shares characteristics with flying red ants and mantises. It also shares characteristics with wasp-mimicking mantidflies.

Name origin

Scizor is a corruption of scissor or a combination of scissors and razor.

Hassam is a corruption of 剪む hasamu (to clip or snip).

Lairon (Japanese: コドラ Kodora) is a dual-type Steel/Rock Pokémon introduced in Generation III.

It evolves from Aron starting at level 32 and evolves into Aggron starting at level 42.

Biology

Lairon is a stocky, armored Pokémon with four short legs. Its body is dark gray, and its eyes are sky blue. Its back is covered with segments of iron armor, each with a high ridge and round dark holes on the sides. The sides of its lower jaw have several flat protrusions, and two teeth are visible in its mouth. There are two-pronged metal bands on its legs. The upper band is gray and the lower is silver.

Lairon smashes its steely body against others when battling over territory, and shows off its strength with the size of sparks it composes by ramming into rocks. Close inspection of Larion has revealed scratches and dents left on the armor from its conflicts. It drinks nutritious mineral spring water and feeds on iron contained in rocks. However it has gotten into conflict with humans over these territories in the past. It builds its nest on mountains where iron ore is buried, which results in it clashing with humans that are iron mining.

Pokémon Adventures

Main article: Rono

In Mashing Makuhita, Rono, Sapphire's Aron, evolved into a Lairon before her challenge with Brawly in the Dewford Gym. Although he was her highest-level Pokémon, he failed to beat his Hariyama, but was put into good use against Matt, beating his Pokémon and injuring him badly enough that he was not taken to the Seafloor Cavern sometime later. He evolved into an Aggron on Mirage Island as a result of the training Sapphire underwent alongside Ruby.

The Battle Tower rented an Aron, which was stolen by Guile Hideout in The Final Battle VII.

A Lairon appeared in a fantasy in the PS561.

Trivia

Origin

Lairon may be based on the Bulgasari, a monster that eats iron in Korean legend. Its draconic appearance was most likely inspired by how it appears in the film adaptation of the legend.

Lairon also has a similar body shape to the Placerias, a mammal-like synapsid from the Triassic period. As its Pokémon category suggests, its appearance may also be inspired by plate armours.

Name origin

Lairon may be a combination of lairy (slang for aggressive) or lair and iron.

Kodora may be a combination of 巨 ko (large) and dragon.
