There will be One-Star, Three-Star, and Five-Star Raids occurring in-game, and Scyther will be the One-Star Raid Boss. Scyther is a dual Bug and Flying-type Pokemon GO monster with a max CP of 3060, but as a Raid Boss, its Combat Power goes up to 7762. Scyther is an insectoid known to be a great hunter with the ability to blend into the forest. As it fights, its scythes become sharper and can even become deadly enough to cleanly slice through a tree with a single strike. After it is captured, Scyther can evolve into a powerful dual Bug and Steel-type Scizor with a Mega Evolution. The upcoming Evolving Stars event might be the best opportunity for you to catch a powerful Scyther. Note: This article reflects the opinions of the writer. The One-Star Raid Boss Scyther s weaknesses in Pokemon GO The Dual Bug and Flying type of this Pokemon opens up room for five of its weaknesses in Type-Battles. Scyther is extremely weak against Electric, Fire, Flying, Ice, and Rock-type attacks with Rock-type moves dealing 256.0% damage while the remaining four inflict 160.0% damage to it. Fortunately, there is no need to be intimidated by this boss if you know which attacks work best against it. Scyther takes more than double the damage from Rock-type attacks, so you should create a roster of Pokemon more focused on Rock attributes before battling this Raid Boss. A solid team consisting of its weaknesses can come out victorious, even before the timer stops. Scyther s resistances in Pokemon GO Scyther as it appears in the anime (Image via The Pokemon Company) Any creature that is weak against something also has a fair share of types that it is resistant to. Scyther is no exception to this rule, with five weaknesses and four resistances in the current. As of now, Scyther is resistant to Ground, Fighting, Grass, and Bug-type moves in Pokemon GO. It is capable of resisting attacks from Ground-types by 24.4%, Fighting-types by 39.1%, Grass-types by 39.1%, and Bug-types by 62.5%. You should avoid using these types of attacks against it as much as possible since they inflict very little damage.
