Today, we take a look at Team Rocket's Scyther.
Shadow

He first attack, Shadow, is truly a great one. For one Grass its like a smokescreen until he leaves the play area or takes damage. Very nefty. Gust of Wind can end it but I don't love Scyther because of that attack.

Blinding Scythe

Also, like the Jungle version, it works well with a Double Colorless Energy. For a Grass and 2 Colorless he can do 40 damage with Blinding Scythe. So Shadow and Blinding Scythe make a extroadinary team. In two turns this can KO alot, even a Wiggly.

Resistance and Weakness

TR Scyther still has the same Weakness and Resistance he has always had. Resistance to Fighting (Yay) and Weakness to Fire (Boo). It can still kill a Hitmonchan no problem. TR Scyther also has 1 Colorless Retreat Cost. Not like the Jungle version.

HP

Scyther has the annoying (to you, not your opponent) HP of 60. I guess Shadow can help with this a bit.

Overall

Well, since TR Scyther is a easy KO for Magmar or Wigglytuff I give him a 8.0. He is without a doubt (not the best) my favorite TR Pokemon.
