Scyther Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
Scyther #130 is a true secret rare because its numbering runs past the Platinum set size at 130/127, which is exactly the kind of over-the-set numbering collectors chase in vintage-era Pokémon TCG releases.
Set Lore
In Bulbapedia’s Platinum checklist, Scyther appears as one of the set’s extra secret cards alongside Electabuzz and Hitmonchan, giving it the feel of a deliberate throwback bonus hidden beyond the main release.
Artist
This card is illustrated by Ken Sugimori, Pokémon’s original character designer, which gives the secret rare an especially nostalgic edge for collectors who love artwork tied directly to the franchise’s earliest visual identity.
Card History
Scyther’s Platinum secret rare keeps the classic-feeling Swords Dance into Slash attack pattern, making it read like a loving callback to older Scyther cards rather than a flashy reinvention.
In-Game
The flavor text references Scyther’s game Pokédex identity as a blindingly fast mantis that shreds prey with its scythes and only rarely takes to the air, reinforcing the predatory mystique that has defined the species for generations.
