Release of Scizor in Pokémon Unite: character presentation
After the arrival of Mew and Dodrio earlier this month, it’s now time for the release of Scizor in Pokémon Unite. Let’s discover together all the abilities of this Bug and Steel Pokémon, which is theone of the evolutions of Scytherwhich first appeared in Pokémon Gold and Silver, the second generation of games from the license.
The arrival of Scizor in Pokémon Unite
With the release of Scizor in Pokémon Uniteit is a new close combatant which joins the roster of 42 Pokémon. Considered versatile, it is in the form of Scyther that the Pokémon appears at the start of the game. Only if you choose the Gunfist ability at level 5 will it evolve into a Scizor.
His Technician talent allows him, after using an ability, to have his next basic attack doubled. His basic attack is a physical attack that increases every three strokes and inflicts extra damage. Scythe’s movement speed is also temporarily increased. In the form of Scizor, it is then the defense which is improved.
Scizor Abilities
Let’s start with the abilities at level 1 and 3 of Scizor in Pokémon Unite. The first one, Slash, is a double ranged attack that deals physical damage to targets in its path. Incidentally, all of Scizor’s abilities are physical attacks. With the second ability, Quick-AttackScyther, or Scizor dashes in a direction, dealing damage in its path.
Scizor Level 5 and 7 Abilities in Pokémon Unite
At level 5, you have the choice between two abilities to replace Taillade. If you want to do Evolve Scyther into Scizor in Pokémon Uniteyou have to choose Pistol-Fist. This ability is a dash that deals damage in one direction. If it hits an opponent, its cooldown is reduced and Cozayox recovers life points.
Otherwise, you can opt for Double Volley if you prefer to continue with Scyther. With this ranged ability, he cuts through the air like a cross. The Pokémon hit take damage and if the target is in the center, Scyther recovers hit points.
Is the level 7 that you need to replace Swift Attack with one of these two abilities: Double Strike or Blade Dance. With Double Hit, Scyther, or Scizor jumps in a direction and marks targets hit. If he manages to hit an enemy, he can jump again in the direction of his choice. If the attack causes a KO, all ability timers are reset.
Dancing Blades is much simpler to use, since the Pokémon can jump in one direction, which transforms its next 8 basic attacks, which deal damage in a line.
Scizor Level 9 Abilities in Pokémon Unite
Finally, at level 9 unlocks the Unite skill, which is different whether or not you chose to evolve Scyther into Scizor in Pokémon Unite.
The Unit skill of Scyther or Scizor in Pokémon Unite allows him to jump on a targeted opponent to inflict several blows on him. Next, five clones of the Pokémon then appear and dash towards the target. After a few seconds, the clones return to the fighter, inflicting damage on the way.
So far the two abilities are similar, but if Scyther will be able double attack and reset its cooldowns in case of KO of an enemy, Scizor can make a second dash and hit the ground to inflict damage area damage.
That’s all for the release of Scizor in Pokémon Unite. To unlock it, you have to pay 14,000 Aeos coins. If you want to discover other Pokémon and take advantage of advice on how to progress, I invite you to consult our Pokémon Unite tips page.
