Trivia[]
- Despite having different base stats, Scizor, Kleavor, and Scyther all have a base stat total of 500 (Scyther has a higher base Speed, whereas Scizor and Kleavor have a higher base Attack and Defense respectively). As such, Scizor and Kleavor are the only Pokémon to not have their base stat total changed upon evolving.
- Mega Scizor is tied with Mega Pinsir, Mega Heracross, and Genesect for the highest base stat total of all Bug-type Pokémon.
