Scyther Pokédex Entries

Sword
Shield
As Scyther fights more and more battles, its scythes become sharper and sharper. With a single slice, Scyther can fell a massive tree.
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.
