Scizor

Scizor (Japanese: ハッサム, HepburnHassamu) (SI-zor[1]) is a Bug/Steel-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II.

Biology

Physiology

Scizor concept art

Scizor is a human-sized mantis similar to its evolutionary predecessor Scyther, with a thick, metallic red exoskeleton and crab-like claws. Scizor's body is as hard as steel, with claws strong enough to crush any hard object. They can be opened and closed like jaws, and are patterned with black, eyespots with yellow "pupils".

Mega Scizor

Mega Scizor's pincers lengthen and develop serrations. The lower half of the claws turn white and gain three-pointed spikes on the underside. The barbs on Mega Scizor's claws can stab through concrete, and opponents caught in them are unable to escape. Its eyespots are now blue with a thin black rim. Though they lack the black rim, its eyes are blue as well. Additional pieces of black armoring appear on various areas of its body: a three-pointed crest on its forehead and striated coverings on its shoulders and thighs. Mega Scizor's legs are less detailed and resemble large, tapered spikes with white tips.

Gender differences

The difference between a male and female Scizor is by looking at the size of their black-pointed striped abdomen. The females have larger ones than the males.

Behavior

They are tougher and stronger than Scyther, but have lost their predecessor's speed. Instead, they spread their wings to cool off, and flap them very rapidly to heat up, or to blow air to cool themselves off. While Scyther are mantis-like predator, striking fast and simply evading potential pursuers, Scizor are coated with a red steel of sorts and therefore not quite as agile. Once they engage their foes, either in the wild or at the direction of a Pokémon Trainer in a Pokémon battle, they behave more like Scyther, striking quickly with their powerful claws, raking more than pinching, and relying on their startling agility to evade attacks. They will raise their claws and wave them around to scare off predators or foes, giving them the appearance of having three heads.

Scizor are known to live in the grasslands despite not being found in the wild.

Evolution

It evolves from Scyther by trade while holding a Metal Coat.

    Mega Evolution: It's better at beating things than grasping them. When it battles for a long time, the weight of its pincers becomes too much to bear.

  • Sword

    Bulky pincers account for one third of Scizor's body weight. A single swing of one of these pincers will crush a boulder completely.

  • Shield

    Though its body is slim, Scizor has tremendous attacking power. Even Scizor's muscles are made of metal.

    Trivia

    • Scizor have crab-like pincers, but cannot learn Guillotine, nor can it learn Crabhammer.
    • Scizor has exactly the same stat total as its pre-evolution, Scyther, 500.
      • This makes it and Scyther's other evolution, Kleavor the only Pokémon who don't change their BST upon evolving.
    • Kingler and Scizor have the same species; The Pincer Pokémon.
    • In Super Smash Bros., Scizor is one of the Pokémon that can be freed from Poké Balls. During this time, it uses the move Metal Claw.
    • Scizor is one of the 11 Generation II Pokémon that is an evolution of a Generation I Pokémon.

    Origin

    Scizor combines traits from mantises, ants, and lobsters. The spots on its claws may reference eyespots present on several insects, which serve to either intimidate, confuse, or camouflage an animal from its predators.

    Etymology

    Scizor is a mix of the words scissors and razor.

    Its Japanese name, Hassamu, comes from hasamu (to cut or snip off).
