Pokédex entries

What each game says about it, in the games' own words.

Red / BlueWith ninja-like agility and speed, it can create the illusion that there is more than one.
YellowLeaps out of tall grass and slices prey with its scythes. The move­ ment looks like that of a ninja.
Gold / HeartGold / YIt slashes through grass with its sharp scythes, moving too fast for the human eye to track.
SilverWhen it moves, it leaves only a blur. If it hides in grass, its pro­ tective colors make it invisible.
CrystalIt's very proud of its speed. It moves so fast that its opponent does not even know what knocked it down.
Ruby / SapphireSCYTHER is blindingly fast. Its blazing speed enhances the effectiveness of the twin scythes on its forearms. This POKéMON’s scythes are so effective, they can slice through thick logs in one wicked stroke.
EmeraldIts blindingly fast speed adds to the sharpness of its twin forearm scythes. The scythes can slice through thick logs in one wicked stroke.
FireRed / XIt tears and shreds prey with its wickedly sharp scythes. It very rarely spreads its wings to fly.
LeafGreenWith ninja-like agility and speed, it can create the illusion that there is more than one of itself.
Diamond / PearlIt is nearly impossible to parry its attacking scythes. Its movements are like a ninja’s.
Platinum / Black / White / Black 2 / White 2The sharp scythes on its forearms become increasingly sharp by cutting through hard objects.
SoulSilverWhen it moves, it leaves only a blur. If it hides in grass, its protective coloration makes it invisible.
Omega Ruby / Alpha SapphireScyther is blindingly fast. Its blazing speed enhances the effectiveness of the twin scythes on its forearms. This Pokémon’s scythes are so effective, they can slice through thick logs in one wicked stroke.
SunIt confuses its prey with its quick, ninja-like movements. Then, in an instant, it cleaves them with its scythes.
MoonWhile young, they live together deep in the mountains, training themselves in how to fight with their scythes and move at high speeds.
Ultra SunIts two sharp scythes are more than just weapons. It uses them with dexterity to dress its prey before eating.
Ultra MoonSome call it a ninja. Its movements— imperceptibly quick—are sufficient to cleave the air in two. It’s very popular in Alola.

Official data here is present-day reference data from PokéAPI, not a snapshot of any one game's era — the Fairy type and hidden abilities arrived partway through the series, so a difference against an older game can belong to the series rather than to that ROM hack.
