Scyther or Scizor? The choice is yours.

Scizor Guide: Best Builds and Moveset

Scizor Basic Information

Confirmed to be an All-Rounder

Pokemon UNITE's Japanese Twitter account has confirmed Scizor to join the existing pool of All-Rounders!

Unique Evolution Playstyle

Pokemon UNITE - Scizor and Scyther side by side

According to moves teasers prior to Scizor's release, choosing a specific move would ensure that the player would be playing as Scyther or Scizor the whole match! This is a very unique mechanic introduced with this Pokemon!

Scyther or Scizor? It's Your Choice

Looking at which move inhibits or triggers evolution, it seems Scyther has an assassination playstyle while Scizor prefers a duelist approach!

Learned Move at Level 5 → Pokemon
Dual Wingbeat ImageDual Wingbeat → ScytherScyther
Bullet Punch ImageBullet Punch → ScizorScizor

Scizor Stats

Has Balance Stats

With its short ranged moves and dashes, Scizor looks to have similar gameplay to All-Rounders in the roster. It is likely that the Pokemon will have balanced stats.

Scizor Moves

Dual Wingbeat

Learning Dual Wingbeat ensures that players will play as Scyther for the whole match.

The first official move revealed for Scizor's first evolution, Scyther, is Dual Wingbeat. Scyther performs a slash in front of itself, dealing damage to enemies in an X-shaped area. If there are enemies hit in the center of the X-shaped area, it restores Scyther's HP.

Bullet Punch

Learning Bullet Punch ensures that players will play as Scizor for the whole match.

Bullet Punch has the user dash in a specific direction and strike opponents with multiple, precise punches. If Scizor hits an opponent, Bullet Punch's cooldown is reduced and recovers HP based on damage dealt!

Unite Move: Green/Red Illusion DIve

It is revealed in the announcment video that Scizor will have a different Unite move depending on which evolution you have it on. For Scyther, we see the Pokemon charge a single target with multiple phantoms, and it is officially called Green Illusion Dive. For Scizor, we see something similar with red phantoms, but only Scizor launches the attack, and it is officially called Red Illusion Dive.
