CARDEX BACKGROUND
The Pokémon’s story
Scizor’s metal body gives it great resilience, but intense combat can also make it overheat. It then beats its wings to regulate its temperature. Its massive pincers break whatever it sees as a threat, while even its muscles contain metal. The Pokédex depicts a powerful fighter that must constantly balance strength and heat: its armour protects it, but also requires it to keep its body at the right temperature.
Background on the species in the video games; its forms and card versions may have appeared later.A detail worth noticing
Scizor’s large pincers alone account for roughly a third of its weight. Pokémon Sword explains that a single strike can reduce a boulder to dust. This proportion helps explain the Pokémon’s silhouette and the prominence of its natural weapons, far beyond a simple damage number on a card.
