Scyther

Scyther is a Bug, Flying-type Pokémon from the Kanto region. It evolves into Scizor when fed 50 candies and given a Metal Coat. Kleavor is a member of Scyther's family; however, Scyther currently cannot evolve into it.

Pokédex description

Mantis Pokémon
Scyther is blindingly fast. Its blazing speed enhances the effectiveness of the twin scythes on its forearms. This Pokémon's scythes are so effective, they can slice through thick logs in one wicked stroke.
