>>55649947>It doesn't>I never tried to claim Scyther was exceptionalalright then, my apologies for misinterpreting the arguments
>It's still convenient to not have to spend money on thati suppose, but the TM is still pretty cheap
>Really? I thought it was decently uncommonBeedrill, Pidgeot, Fearow, Raichu, Arcanine, Rpaidash, Farfecth'd, Dodrio, Hitmonchan, Seadra, Seaking, Jolteon, Porygon, Aerodactyl, the legendary bird trio and Dragonite also get it
>Not every pokemon needs to be the very best at what it doesi'm not going to speak against this idea but Scyther in particular does not live up to a pokemon that has a 4% encounter rate in a zone where you are forced to catch pokemon at full health. Chansey and Tauros are slightly more rare and are obtainable in the same zone but they actual feel like they live up to 1% encounter rates. idk if the Gastly family is fair to compare to Scyther but seeing how Gastly and its evolutions are the only Normal immune pokemon in the game while also having access to some good Special Attacks, you would think they would be much harder to obtain than something that can only attack with Normal moves and Wing Attack. being one of the fastes Slash users in the game is indeed a good thing in gen 1 but i don't think that warrants a 4% encounter rate in the safari zone
