Scyther

Description

The 2024 Pokémon Paldean Fates Scyther #95 Shiny Rare brings a distinctive aesthetic to the TCG with its shimmering holo treatment. Designed by Hitoshi Ariga, this card captures the agility of the Grass-type Pokémon with a visual flair that stands out in any collection. As a Basic Pokémon with 80 HP, it serves as an accessible entry point for trainers building decks around speed and defensive utility. The card’s gameplay revolves around its Colorless Agility attack, which allows trainers to flip a coin to potentially block damage and effects during the opponent's next turn. This defensive capability pairs well with its Colorless Cut attack, offering a straightforward 20 damage output. With a retreat cost of only one colorless energy, Scyther remains mobile, aligning with its Pokédex lore of moving too fast for the human eye to track. This release, numbered 95, is regulated under mark G, ensuring its place in the current standard format. The holo finish adds a layer of visual appeal that makes it a desirable addition for those focusing on set completion or aesthetic variety. Whether you are drawn to the strategic potential of its Agility ability or the artistic merit of the Shiny Rare treatment, this card represents a key piece of modern Pokémon history.
