Unlock the Power: Catch Scyther, Scizor, and Kleavor in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet

Section 1: The Hunt for Scyther

Navigating the Wilderness: Scyther Hotspots

Scyther, the elusive Bug/Flying-type Pokemon, can be a real challenge to find. For those embarking on the quest to capture this agile creature, strategic locations include the area west of Glaseado Mountain and the serene Casseroya Lake. If you're still in the early stages of the game, venture into South Province Area 4, exploring the smaller ponds and the land bridge connecting South Province Area 2 to Area 4. Additionally, keep an eye out near the small ponds in North Province Area 2. For the daring trainers with seven gym badges, Scyther awaits in the intense 4/5-star Tera Raids.

And for the lucky possessors of the Indigo Disk DLC, the adventure extends to the Canyon Biome, Savanna Biome, and the mystical Chargestone Cavern.

Section 2: The Evolution Saga

Cracking the Evolution Code: Scyther to Scizor

Evolution is an intricate dance, and Scyther's transformation into Scizor adds another layer of complexity. The catalyst for this metamorphosis is the elusive Metal Coat. Obtainable through the battle items tab in the Delibird Presents shop for a modest 3,000 Poke Dollars, this item is the linchpin for evolution. Players can also test their luck in auctions, though the reliability of this method is questionable.

Once in possession of the coveted Metal Coat, entrust it to Scyther through the menu. To complete the evolution, enlist a friend for a trading rendezvous, transferring Scyther back and forth. The evolution unfolds seamlessly.

For those averse to trading, an alternative route presents itself. Venture into the realms of 5 or 6-star Tera Raids post-seven gym badges and main storyline completion. The Indigo Disk offers another avenue, allowing Scizor to roam wild in the Canyon Biome.

Section 3: The Mystique of Kleavor

Decoding Kleavor's Coordinates

Kleavor, a Bug/Rock-type wonder, emerges in the picturesque Canyon Biome within Terarium. Ascend the mountain northwest from the Canyon Plaza to discover this enigmatic creature. The brown/mountainous region, adorned with a small lake, marks Kleavor's habitat. Seek guidance from the trainer icon on the map for a foolproof route.

The summit, embellished with black crystal reminiscent of Pokemon Legends: Arceus' Black Augurite, sets the stage for Kleavor's appearance. A word of caution: if Kleavor remains elusive, save your game, exit, and reload Scarlet/Violet to unveil its presence.

Section 4: The Evolutionary Leap

From Scyther to Kleavor: A Dimensional Shift

Evolution takes a cosmic turn when transforming Scyther into Kleavor. The interdimensional journey requires the transfer of Scyther to Pokemon Legends: Arceus. Utilize Pokemon HOME on the Switch, ensuring Scyther rests in a PC Box in Pokemon Scarlet/Violet. Move Scyther through Pokemon HOME to a Basic Box, then onward to Legends: Arceus.

Black Augurite, a mystical find in space-time distortions in Legends: Arceus, holds the key to Kleavor's evolution. Acquire it through Ursaluna, Ginter at the Ginkgo Guild, or dig it up in your celestial adventures. Apply the Black Augurite to Scyther and welcome the evolved form back to Scarlet/Violet.
