Take your Pokémon team to the next level with this powerful evolution
Download Article
You’ve got your sights set on Scizor—and why wouldn’t you? Whether you’re trying to fill out your Pokédex or flesh out your team, this iconic Bug/Steel Pokémon offers plenty of variety to your lineup. We’ll take a closer look at how to get your hands on Scizor in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet and how to get Kleavor, Scyther’s other evolution, in Pokémon Arceus. We’ll even dive deeper into some older Pokémon titles so that you can evolve (and, at times, mega-evolve) your Scyther there, too.
Things You Should Know
- Evolve Scyther into Scizor in Pokémon Scarlet/Violet by giving it a Metal Coat as a held item and trading the Pokémon with a friend.
- In Pokémon Scarlet/Violet, Scyther can be found in South Province Areas Four and Six, Casseroya Lake, and North Province Area Two.
- Evolve Scyther into Kleavor in Pokémon Arceus by giving it the Black Augurite item. You can dig up this item with an Ursuluna Pokémon, or win it after beating/catching Graveler.

Buy a Metal Coat from Delibird Presents in Levincia. Head over to Levinicia, the town with the Electric Gym. Make your way over to the northern portion of this area, where you’ll pass the Delibird Presents store. There, purchase the Metal Coat item for 3,000 Pokédollars. [1] X Research source
- If you’re feeling lucky, you might be able to buy a Metal Coat from the Porto Marinada Auction House. Still, visiting Delibird Presents is the most reliable and consistent way to get this item.
-
Give the Metal Coat to your Scyther as a held item. Go into the “Other Items” section of your inventory, scroll to Metal Coat, and select the “Give to a Pokémon” option. Then, select Scyther from your Pokémon party to hand him the item. [2] X Research sourceAdvertisement
-
Trade your Scyther with a friend. Hit up a friend who also owns Pokémon Scarlet or Violet and head into the Poké Portal section of your game. Using the “Link Trade” feature, trade your Scyther (now holding Metal Coat) over to your friend. Wait for Scyther to evolve into Scizor, and then ask your friend to trade it back.

- Don’t have a friend who owns the game? Using the “Link Trade” feature, some crafty traders have created private trades with the code set to 02600260 (with extra zeros added to complete the 8-digit number). Only trainers aiming to evolve their Scythers will use this code, so both you and the random other person can walk away from the trade with a new Scizor. [4] X Research source

-
Obtain Black Augurite by fighting a Graveler. Wander around the Hisui region until you stumble across a Graveler—the Crimson Mirelands are a great place to start. Beat the Graveler (or catch it) to gain Black Augurite. [9] X Research source
- You can also dig up Black Augurite while riding an Ursaluna (especially if you’re near the cliffs), but battling Graveler is the most consistent way to get it.
-
Give the Black Augurite to your Scyther. Unlike Scizor’s evolution path, Scyther doesn’t need to be traded to evolve into Kleavor. As soon as you give Black Augurite to your Pokémon, it will evolve directly into Kleavor, a Bug/Rock-type Pokémon. [10] X Research source

QuestionHow can I know if Magnemite is holding the metal coat?Andrew MundellCommunity AnswerGo to the Pokémon's summary, and there should be a section that tells you what that Pokémon is holding. Also, you can tell if your Pokémon is holding an item if you go to your Pokemon's party, and there should be an icon next to the Pokémon's sprite.

QuestionCan I mega evolve Pokémon in Sun and Moon (7th generation)?Community Answer(Partial spoilers ahead.) Yes, after you get to the Battle Tree on Poni Island after defeating either Red or Blue, you should start fighting in the Battle Tree. After a while, you should get enough Battle Points (BP) to be able to afford a Mega Stone. You get the Key Stone and Alakazite from Dexio after you beat the main story.

About This Article
Article Summary
X
To evolve Scyther, start by getting a Metal Coat, which you can find at specific locations or with certain wild Pokémon depending on the game you're playing. Then, give your Scyther the Metal Coat to hold onto. When you're ready to evolve your Scyther, you'll need to trade it with a friend since Scyther's evolution is only triggered when it's traded. After you trade it, have your friend trade the Scizor back to you to complete the evolution. To learn how to evolve Scizor, scroll down!
