    It's worth it to fill your PokeDex, and I'm pretty sure they're uncommon in the bug catching contest north of Goldenrod.

    • @_@ Scyther is worth everything. Scyther is worth Ho-oh, Lugia and Celebi put together. Get five hundred of them. Give them all nicknames and put them in special boxes. Train them all to level 100 and make a Scyther army. Oh, and don't evolve them.

    Okay, I don't want this post to be spam, so yeah, it's worth it even if you're not a Scyther-obsessed freak like me. False Swipe is very important to have for catching Pok?mon. Plus, Scyther can win you the Bug-Catching Contest.

    The only other way I know is to trade from another game, but scyther is definitely worth the catch it has high speed and attack and a decent movepool too some people say you should evolve it to scizor this is actually up to you scyther has it's own benefits.

    hes quite easy to get if you are gettnig him from the contest. just save the game as soon as you start and dont bother catching any other pkmn. then do the same with the others you can get in there.

    • Scyther is a fantasic pokemon in G/S/C. Not only is he one of the fastest pokemon in the game, but he also sports a high attack as well. He get's Slash, Wing Attack and the awesome False Swipe, invaluable for catching wild pokemon. He can evolve to Scizor, a good pokemon with very high defense and incredible attack, but does loose some speed as well as becoming double weak to fire attacks. Scyther can be caught in the bug catching contest in the National Park (South-West of Ecrutek and North of Goldenrod) on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. This is the only place that you can catch one. He is pretty hard to find and the Park Balls will have a difficult time holding him unless he is in the red and is either asleep or paralyzed, so Gastly is a great choice to catch him (just watch out for Pursuit). Scyther is VERY much worth it, though.

    • In RBY you could either:
    ~ If you have the right name or something it may appear in the MissingNo glitch.
    ~ Catch it in Safari Zone.

    Then trade it.

    It isn't terribly difficult to find Scyther in the Bug Catch Contest. But I must admit they are quite annoying to find and then try to catch.

    So you're saying that magikarp are worth the catch? :confused:
    Even Gyarados sucks with a huge weakness to electricity.

    I definitely say that scyther is worth the catch. It is an awesome pokemon especially since you can get it pretty early in the game. Train it up and it could be an awesome pokemon! ;)

    I'd say it is worth a catch. Then you can evolve it into scizor.
