How to Get Scyther

Where To Catch Scyther

※ Encounter rates can vary depending on the game version.

Location Encounter Rate
Safari Zone Area 1 Ultra Rare (FR Only)
Safari Zone Area 2 Ultra Rare (FR Only)
Celadon City Bought in the Game Corner for 5500 Coins (FR Only)

Scyther can be found mostly in the Safari Area and can also be bought at the Game Corner.

Exclusive to FireRed

As a note, Scyther is exclusive to Pokemon FireRed. If you're playing the other version of the game, you won't be able to find them naturally, and will have to trade for them instead.

All Version Exclusives and Differences

Purchased at the Game Corner

Version Required Coins
FireRed 5500

Scyther can be obtained at the Celadon Game Corner by purchasing them from the rewards counter. Unlike most other purchases, they can only be bought using the Game Corner's coins, meaning you will need to either farm coins by playing the slot machines, or by purchasing a ton of coins with Poke Dollars.

How Many Nuggets for Scyther

Version Required Money Nugget Equivalent
FireRed 110,000 Poke Dollars 22 Nuggets

You can purchase Scyther for 22 nuggets in Pokemon FireRed. Each nugget sells for 5,000 Poke Dollars, with 10,000 being required to get 500 Game Coins from the Main Counter.

If you didn't do the Nugget Bridge exploit, consider duplicating nuggets instead via the Mail Glitch method.
