Well
Wizards has announced that Neo 2 will be coming in June and it's about
time to revive Scyther because one the second Neo set is released, Scyther's
evolved form Scizor may see some play. Here are the card stats:
Type: Steel
HP: 80
Attack 1)1 Steel Energy- False Swipe: This attack does damage equal to half
of the defending Pokemon's remaining HP. (Rounded off to the nearest 10)
Attack 2) 3 Colorless Energy- Double Claw (20+): Flip two coins. This attack
does 20 more damage for each heads.
Weakness: Fire
Resistance: Grass
Retreat: 2
Now here's the scoop. False Swipe is like Raticate's Super Fang but require's
a Steel Energy. Not only is False Swipe good but Double Claw is really good.
20 no matter what and with two lucky coin flips a possible 60. Sure it may
have lost it's resistance to fighting but then again Fighting types have
begun to lost their touch now. And with Grass resistance, it makes it hard
for Pinsir to attack Scizor. Down side to Scizor..2 energy retreat cost. Oh
well, that's why they invented the Dodrio card so you can have two on your
bench and retreat for free.Don't worry everyone. Scyther hasn't lost it's
touch yet. Once Neo 2 is released, Scizor will turn the tables and will be
better than Steelix and Skarmory.
