How to Evolve Scyther in LeafGreen

Although Bug-type Pokémon have many weaknesses in "Pokémon LeafGreen," Scyther, a Bug and Flying-type Pokémon, is exceptionally fast and strong. Scyther is able to learn a wide array of moves for taking down opponents on the battlefield. At any level, Scyther can evolve into Scizor, a toughened Bug and Steel-type Pokémon. Scizor's body is made of steel, giving him increased defense. If you want to evolve your Scyther into Scizor, you must trade it to a friend who also owns a copy of "Pokémon LeafGreen."
