Scyther Raid Guide

Scyther

Scyther is a tier 3 raid boss in Pokémon GO. As a Bug/Flying Pokémon, it is weak to Electric, Fire, Flying, Ice, and Rock moves, with Rock being a double-weakness, so prioritize counters of this typing.

It can be shiny and is obtainable 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

A Scyther raid is soloable for high-level trainers, but lower-level trainers, or those without ideal counters, may want to bring a friend.
