How to evolve Scyther in Scizor in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet was released on the 18th of November, 2022, and it has all sorts of fun things to do. Like catching the legendary pokemons, having fun with your whole troop on picnics, exploring great TMs for them, and even making sandwiches!! It is available on Nintendo Switch exclusively.

Players are constantly hopping into the game to journey the open world and catch pokemons in the wilderness.

Ever since the Pokemon series has debuted in the gaming world, one pokemon that has always remained constant is Scyther in this particular franchise.

This is all thanks to a Scyther’s fast speed and, let’s say, relatively high attack statistics. But the latter goes to another high level when they evolve into a Scizor.

Players might wonder how they could do so in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. Well, the answers are all below.

Steps to evolve a Scyther into a Scizor in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet

The evolution process of Scizor from Scyther is a little different from pokemon that automatically evolve once they have reached a certain, or have gained enough Exp.

  1. A Scyther can be evolved into a Scizor by doing this firstly, that is by getting them a Metal Coat in both Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.

  2. Once you have done the above, you will be required to trade your Scyther with a friend while you equip the item.
  3. As soon as they receive the pokemon, it’s going to evolve.
  4. To add your Scizor to your roster, you will have to trade again, and that is all.

Now, a lot of you might be wondering if it is possible to get a Scizor directly in wild instead of evolving it from Scyther. To that, I would like to say, my friend and I have already played Violet for more than 170 hours, and we haven’t spotted a single Scizor in the wild. I am not sure if the Scarlet version has the Pokemon available in the wild, but it is definitely not present in Violet.

Now the question is how to get Metal Coat.

The easiest way to get a Metal Coat for your Pokemon

Head to Delibird Presents Store that is situated in Levincia city. Here you can purchase a metal coat for 3,000 League Points/Pokedollars.

This is for all those who want to evolve in pokemon scarlet and violet, their pokemon – Scyther into a Scizor.

That pretty much sums up all there is to know about evolving a Scyther into a Scizor in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.
