FAQ

How do you unlock Scyther in Pokémon Survivors?

By hatching a Rare Egg. Bosses, locked chests and rifts sometimes drop eggs, which hatch in the incubator with the steps you walk in runs; once Scyther hatches, it's yours to play for good.

How does Scyther evolve?

Mid-run, as it levels up: into Scizor or Kleavor at Lv 20. Some forms need an evolution item, bought in the Kecleon Shop or found on bosses.

What is Scyther's starting move?

Scyther starts every run with Fury Cutter, the family's signature move. The other moves come from level-ups as the line evolves.

Can Scyther Mega Evolve?

Yes: at its final stage, into Mega Scizor. The Mega Stone drops from the first rift legendary you beat in the run, and the Mega Evolution lasts 20 seconds.

Is Scyther good in Pokémon Survivors?

On the tier list, built from players’ runs, Scyther is B tier: it beat Mewtwo in 51% of its 71 runs on Normal over the last 30 days.
