Scyther Pokémon Legends Z-A is part of the Lumiose Pokédex at #176. Scyther brings Bug and Flying typing into Lumiose and its Attack stat is the strongest part of its base spread. Rather than treating Scyther Pokémon Legends Z-A as another generic Pokédex entry, the useful part is seeing how those pieces work together inside Z-A’s much faster battle system.
This guide keeps the focus on how Scyther fits into Pokémon Legends: Z-A: its typing, matchup profile, base stats, Z-A move pool and any Mega Evolution that can be verified for the game. For Scyther Pokémon Legends Z-A, those details matter together because Z-A uses real-time battles instead of the traditional turn structure, making movement, timing and the shape of a Pokémon’s stat line part of the same picture.
Is Scyther in Pokémon Legends: Z-A?
Yes. Scyther is in Pokémon Legends: Z-A and is registered as #176 in the Lumiose Pokédex. That places Scyther directly in the main Lumiose collection rather than making it a Pokémon that only exists outside the game.
Scyther Pokémon Legends Z-A Type and Weaknesses
Scyther Pokémon Legends Z-A is Bug and Flying. That typing determines which attacks can punish it most heavily and which matchups naturally give it more breathing room.
Scyther is weak to Fire, Electric, Ice, Flying, and Rock. Those are the attack types that deal super-effective damage, so they are the clearest threats to account for when Scyther is on the field.
On the other side of the matchup, Scyther resists Bug, Grass, and Fighting. It is also immune to Ground. That gives its typing some matchups where switching or positioning it well can be much safer than simply looking at raw stats.
Scyther Pokémon Legends Z-A Stats
Scyther Pokémon Legends Z-A has a base stat total of 500. Its standout base stat is Attack at 110, while Special Attack at 55 is the lowest part of its stat line. That spread gives a much better picture of the Pokémon than the total alone.

For Scyther, the shape of the stat line matters. Attack clearly outweighs Special Attack, so its natural offensive numbers lean physical. Speed is also one of the stronger numbers on the sheet, fitting a Pokémon that is naturally built with pace in mind.
How Scyther Fits the Pokémon Legends: Z-A Battle System
For Scyther Pokémon Legends Z-A, the important part is how that stat shape translates into Z-A’s real-time battles. Z-A changes the context around Scyther because battles happen in real time. Its high base Speed fits naturally with a Pokémon whose identity already leans toward pace, even though real-time movement and move timing are not a simple one-to-one conversion of the traditional Speed stat.
Scyther Pokémon Legends Z-A Moves
The current structured Z-A record does not expose a reliable game-specific move list for Scyther, so this guide does not substitute a move list from another Pokémon game.
Can Scyther Mega Evolve in Pokémon Legends: Z-A?
No Z-A Mega form is currently verified for Scyther in the structured game data used by this guide. That does not stop Scyther from being useful in the real-time battle system, but there is no Mega form included here just because the species has unusual forms in another Pokémon title.
Is Scyther Worth Using in Pokémon Legends: Z-A?
There are concrete reasons to consider Scyther: dual typing that creates a distinctive matchup profile and a strong 500 base stat total. None of those automatically makes it the best Pokémon for every battle, but they give you real reasons to build around the species rather than judging it by name recognition alone.
The useful question is less whether Scyther has the biggest number on a spreadsheet and more whether its typing, stat shape and available moves suit the way you want to play. Z-A rewards timing and positioning in a way the traditional turn-based games do not, so two Pokémon with similar totals can still feel very different once their real battle tools are taken into account.
