Where to find Scyther

Scyther can appear as a wild Pokémon on Leaf Town. See how to catch a Pokémon.

Scyther can hatch from a Jungle Egg. Now and then an encounter on a map turns up an egg instead of a wild Pokémon, and which eggs a map can drop depends on its types. The Jungle Egg can drop on Black Forest, Safari Zone, Jungle, Leaf Town, and Legend of Dawn. Put the egg in an incubator to hatch it. See crafting and incubation.
