Our recommended Scyther build for Pokemon Unite.
To do any of this, you will need thebest items and moves for Scyther.
Staying alive is of great importance as to not falter in gaining experience or avoid assisting allies.
Scythers Ability - Technician activates, when Scyther uses a move.
The next basic attack will change, and deal two consecutive basic attacks.
The second basic attack will be of lowered damage.
Use Dual Wingbeat, then your double basic attack, and end with the second part of Dual Wingbeat.
At the start of the match, you will need to choose either Fury Cutter and Quick Attack.
Just like Scizor, we recommend choosingQuick Attackif you are using the Central Area.
If it hits an enemy, even a wild Pokemon, Scyther is healed.
When hitting a foe, Scyther will receive an additional follow up attack with this move.
Dual Wingbeats additional capabilities will have Scyther dash forward in a targeted area in a line.
The ideal way to finish off enemies.
This will increase healing the more enemies that are caught in this X-shaped area.
See some Wild Pokemon on the path?
Use Dual Wingbeat area of effect then use this to get away.
This makes heading into the Central Area the best way to disengage from overwhelming enemies.
When upgraded, it increases the damage dealt by the move.
Reaching Level 7, you will then have the option between Double Hit and Swords Dance.
We recommend choosingDouble Hit, because this is the intended move for Scyther and escalates its strengths.
Scyther will then bounce off to a designated area.
If the enemy Pokemon has a mark, when defeated, it will reset all of Scythers moves instantly.
This can also critically strike.
When upgraded, the cooldown is reduced.
These two moves give Scyther a plethora of mobility options.
Both Dual Wingbeat and Double Hit have a second part to each.
All while you weave in basic attacks after each move.
Lastly, Scyther will learn its Unite Move at Level 9 Green Illusion Dive.
Scyther dashes forward, cutting the enemy, and then creating five illusionary copies of itself in the area.
In comparison to Scizor these illusionary copies are not as tightly knit as Scizors Red Illusion Dive.
If any of the copies is touched by an enemy Pokemon, they will receive damage alongside marking them.
After a short time, the copies return to Scyther by dealing damage on the way.
For each copy that hits an enemy on the way back, Scyther will be healed.
You want to use this at the start of a fight or in the middle of a fight.
Scyther will evolve into Scizor at Level 5 only when choosing Bullet Punch.
Scythers stats are very different from Scizor.
Scyther gains cooldown reduction, when reaching Level 5 unlike Scizor that receives lifesteal.
Scyther is much more fragile than Scizor.
Scyther has lower defense stats, does not have lifesteal, and has less max HP than Scizor.
But Scyther makes up for this with having higher attack, better mobility, and cooldown reduction.
For these reasons, Scyther will needMuscle Band,Scope LensandFocus Band.
Most of Scythers damage will come from its basic attacks or at the end of Double Hits second part.
We want to have Muscle Band to increase the attack speed, and give raw attack stats.
Focus Band provides Scyther additional defense, special defense and healing when low.
Need help deciding which Pokemon to choose?
Scyther has many options to get in the fights or even leave them.
Double Hit can have Scyther leap a large distance.
Use Dual Wingbeat to hit Wild Pokemon to escape difficult situations.
Scyther itself is very delicate in comparison to Scizor.
You will not be tanking or sponging damage from allies.
You will be assassinating your prey one by one to reset cooldowns before knocking out even further enemies.
Best of luck out there with Scyther!
