Scyther is a tier 3 raid boss in Pokémon GO. It has previously been a tier 1, but has been levelled back up to the trickier tier. It can be shiny, and is considered to be a ‘perma boosted’ shiny according to Silph Road researchers, with an approximate shiny rate of 1/64.
Scyther can be caught with the following CP values:
- 1472 – 1546 CP at Level 20, no weather boost
- 1841 – 1933 CP at Level 25 with Windy or Rainy weather boost
Scyther evolves into Scizor, which has a Mega Evolution, that is a powerful Bug and Steel type, so it is well worth having a strong Scizor in your collection.
Scyther Counters
Since Shadow Pokémon are extremely expensive to power up and require specific events to remove Frustration with a Charge TM, they will NOT be listed as raid counters in this article. That being said, if you have the shadow form of a listed raid counter Pokémon powered up and TMed, use it.
