Pokedex Entries
| Game | Entry |
|---|---|
| LegendsArceus | The large, wickedly sharp scythes on its forearms are truly fearsome weapons. Prey’s attempts to flee are unfailingly thwarted by this Pokémon’s nimble motions. |
| Red | With ninja-like agility and speed, it can create the illusion that there is more than one. |
| Blue | With ninja-like agility and speed, it can create the illusion that there is more than one. |
| Yellow | Leaps out of tall grass and slices prey with its scythes. The movement looks like that of a ninja. |
| Gold | It slashes through grass with its sharp scythes, moving too fast for the human eye to track. |
| Silver | When it moves, it leaves only a blur. If it hides in grass, its protective colors make it invisible. |
| Crystal | It’s very proud of its speed. It moves so fast that its opponent does not even know what knocked it down. |
| Firered | It tears and shreds prey with its wickedly sharp scythes. It very rarely spreads its wings to fly. |
| Leafgreen | With ninja-like agility and speed, it can create the illusion that there is more than one of itself. |
| Platinum | The sharp scythes on its forearms become increasingly sharp by cutting through hard objects. |
| Heartgold | It slashes through grass with its sharp scythes, moving too fast for the human eye to track. |
| Soulsilver | When it moves, it leaves only a blur. If it hides in grass, its protective coloration makes it invisible. |

| Y | It slashes through grass with its sharp scythes, moving too fast for the human eye to track. |
| Sun | It confuses its prey with its quick, ninja-like movements. Then, in an instant, it cleaves them with its scythes. |
| Moon | While young, they live together deep in the mountains, training themselves in how to fight with their scythes and move at high speeds. |
| UltraSun | Its two sharp scythes are more than just weapons. It uses them with dexterity to dress its prey before eating. |
| UltraMoon | Some call it a ninja. Its movements— imperceptibly quick—are sufficient to cleave the air in two. It’s very popular in Alola. |
| Sword | As Scyther fights more and more battles, its scythes become sharper and sharper. With a single slice, Scyther can fell a massive tree. |
| Shield | 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. |
| Scarlet | It slashes through grass with its sharp scythes, moving too fast for the human eye to track. |
| Violet | The sharp scythes on its forearms become increasingly sharp by cutting through hard objects. |
