Strategy & play
How Scyther plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.
- A Basic — hits the board turn 1 with no evolution tax.
- Its main attack (Fury Cutter) needs 2 Energy — a turn-2 swing on manual attachment.
- Attacks on any Energy (Colorless cost) — splashable into any deck regardless of type.
- Grass type, weak to Fire ×2 — a Fire attacker doing ≥40 effectively one-shots it.
- A single-prize attacker — prize-trade-positive against ex / V decks that give up two at a time.
How to beat Scyther
- Exploit its Fire weakness — ≥40 damage one-shots it.

Frequently asked
How can I tell if my Scyther is real?
Scyther is not on our list of commonly-counterfeited cards, but counterfeits exist across every set. Check the back-light test (real cards have a black inner layer that blocks light; counterfeits glow through), the rosette dot pattern on the back under magnification, font weight and kerning on the card name, and the holofoil pattern if applicable. For high-value copies we recommend submitting to a professional grader (PSA, BGS, CGC) for tamper-evident authentication.
