Collector Insights

Scyther is a Grass-type Pokémon with 60 HP, featuring a unique attack combination that enhances its combat strategy. Its primary attack, Slashing Strike, requires one Grass and one Colorless energy to deal 30 damage, but prevents Scyther from using this move again during the next turn. The secondary attack, Swords Dance, uses a single Colorless energy to boost the base damage of Slashing Strike to 60 during the following turn. The card carries a rarity of Uncommon and is part of the Diamond & Pearl series, specifically released in the Stormfront set on November 1, 2008. Scyther resists Fighting-type attacks by 20 and is weak to Fire-type attacks, which deal 10 more damage. The card’s flavor text highlights its agility and precision, comparing its movements to a ninja’s. Artist Mitsuhiro Arita designed the card, contributing to its visual representation within the Pokémon TCG.

It is nearly impossible to parry its attacking scythes. Its movements are like a ninja's.
