Part 1: Know about Scyther in Pokémon Go

Scyther is Pokémon number 123 and is quite rare to find. It evolves into Scizor when you trade a metal coat that you are holding. Here are a few details about Scyther.

Biology

Scyther is a bug that looks like a Praying Mantis but has a bipedal stance. It has green as the major color, which is broken up by cream sections separating the head, thorax, and abdomen. The female Scyther has a larger abdomen than the male. The head looks almost reptilian with the narrow flat head.

Scyther gets its name from the two large scythes that it has in the form of hands. It uses the scythes for fighting and hunting. It bears furry spikes on its legs and large clawed toes. It also has wings on the back for flying, but it rarely does so.

The green color of the Scyther is great for hiding in the grass as it waits for prey. It moves very fast and the prey has very little chance of survival once Scyther launches an attack. It also cuts through hard objects to sharpen the scythes. The main habitat for Scyther is the grasslands and becomes very angry when it sees the color red.

Evolution

Scyther evolves in Scizor when you trade a metal jacket that you may be holding.

Scizor

Scizor is another insect-like Pokémon, which has a red, metallic exoskeleton. The wings are gray and retract when not in use. It has three horns on its kite-like head. It has exposed black parts around the neck and the thorax. The feet have one large claw at the front and another at the back.

• You can easily simulate walking, riding a bike, or driving in a car when you use dr. fone for virtual location purposes.
• Any geo-data-reliant application can use dr. fone to teleport a device.

A step-by-step guide to spoof your location using dr. fone virtual location (iOS)

Visit the official dr. fone site. Download and install the tool on your computer. Now launch the application and access the home screen.

When on the home screen, click on “Virtual Location” to begin changing your location. Now connect your iOS device to your computer with an original USB data cable, preferably the one that came with your device.

On the upper side of your computer screen is a bunch of icons; click on the third one to go into the "Teleport" mode.
