Scyther is a Bug/Flying-type Pokémon (National Dex #123) with a middling stat total of 500. You can have one built for Scarlet & Violet, Legends: Z-A, Sword & Shield, BDSP, Legends: Arceus and Let's Go, and every copy is generated through the same PKHeX legality engine Pokémon HOME uses on deposit.

Its best stat is Attack at 110, which makes it a fast, hard-hitting sweeper. Attack outweighs Special Attack by a clear margin, so an Adamant or Jolly nature and a physical move set play to its strengths. When you order one here you pick the nature, EV spread, IVs and Tera type yourself, so you can build the exact spread the set calls for rather than breeding for it.

Defensively, Scyther takes super-effective damage from Rock at 4×, and Fire, Electric, Ice, Flying at 2×. It is completely immune to Ground. It resists Grass, Fighting, Bug. Its ability options are Swarm, Technician, Steadfast, and you choose which one your copy carries.

Scyther evolves into Scizor. You can order any stage directly rather than raising it — useful when you want the final evolution at a specific level, or the pre-evolution with an egg move it can only learn early.

In-game, Scyther has 72 recorded encounter locations across Scarlet & Violet (27), Legends: Z-A (4), Sword & Shield (10), BDSP (20), Legends: Arceus (6), Let's Go (5) — listed in full below with levels, catchable marks and legal Poké Balls. A shiny Scyther ordered here is built with a legal PID and Encryption Constant, so it passes the same checks a hunted one does.
