>I have been hearing how Scyther is the second Farfetch'd and I kind of agree. 
>Sure, he's got more HP, but his weakness is the cheapest type in the game. 
>And, there's only one situation where Swords Dance is useful-at the beginning 
>of the game or when Scyther was just put down, and has a Grass Energy, and 
>you've got a Double Colorless. Use Swords Dance, then on your next turn, put 
>the Double Colorless down, use Slash. Otherwise, what's the point? Swords 
>Dance does 60 damage in two turns, right? I've a got a news flash-even 
>without Swords Dance, you could do 60 damage in two turns. Just use Slash 
>instead of Swords Dance, then on your turn, use Slash. 60 damage. Just like 
>Swords Dance. So, for all you idiots who think Swords Dance is so freakin 
>good, you're wrong. It's basically worthless! Now, take retreat cost. Scyther 
>wins here. He retreats for free, while the duck has to pay an energy. But 
>Farfetch'd wins in the commonality area. He's a lot easier to find. Now, 
>let's review-Scyther wins in HP, and loses in the worst weakness area. 
>Farfetch'd wins in the attacks catergory, and loses in retreat cost. So, in 
>skill, it's a 2-2 tie. But Farfetch'd is much easier to find. So, overall, 
>Farfetch'd is the winner. I hope this ends the idiotic Scyther vs. Farfetch'd 
>arguments. Farfetch'd is better. 'Nuff said
