It tears and shreds prey with its wickedly sharp scythes. It very rarely spreads its wings to fly.

    Wait… why is the Pokédex info different than Jungle Scyther?

      Jungle Scyther’s Dex info was from Red/Blue and LeafGreen from years later, Blobby.

        Just seems odd that a card so faithful to the original (right down to weakness and resistance not being in line with other cards of the era) would change something so arbitrary like the pokedex info

    First and only secret rare Scyther card (not counting the shiny Scyther in Hidden Fates’s shiny vault sub-set)

    Despite this being a direct reprint of the very first Scyther card, it was pretty much still the strongest Scyther card at the time of its printing (still having the most HP of them all and free retreat). Even now, it’s arguably the best Scyther card ever printed — Scyther has gone up to 100 HP now, but that free retreat is so useful that it’s worth the drop in HP.
