why is everyone thinking that scyther is great?he isn't great, but is 
ok.let's look at him:


7o hp (good)
basic (good)
resistance to fighting (good)
weak to fire (50-50)
his attack swords dance makes his slash do 60 next turn BUT!!!!!!!if you use 
slash istead of swords dance  and do slash the next turn you do 
60!!!!instead of doing swords dance and doing 60 the next turn you do the 
same thing if you use slash those two turns!!!!(either way it does 60)the 
only reason i would use swords dance is if i had two grass energys on 
scyther and one in my handand then use swords dance and on my next turn i 
then would put the energy on scyther to do 60.
