I think that scyther is the best basic pokemon ever! He is awesome, doing 120
damage inn just 3 turns! First lets say yer opponent has a  charizard and you
have 4 scythers and a fully powered blastoise in yer bench and a scyther as 
your active pokemon. You go first and attach a grass energy ta scyther ta
boost up slash. yer opponent laughs and plays anad plays a red on charizard,
now you give the scyther on your bench a gras energy and use swords dance.
yer opponent plays another red energy and it's your turn again. you give yer
benched scyther another green energy and yeropponent plays a red. Yer
opponent thinks she is winning now! Now attach an energy ta yer benched
scyther and let this scyther faint. Yer opponent does fire blast fer 100 and
yer scyther faints and ya take out yer benched scyther! H's fully powered and
chariard has ta wait two turns before attacking again! First scyther uses
swords dance and yer opponent attaches an energy and ya use slash! He has
only has 50 hp! Now retreat and use blastoise ta kill chariard!
Here are reasons he is sooo kewl!

1# He is a  kick butt ! Scyther is simply amaxing!  70 hp a free retreat cost
and resistance to fighting is outstanding for a basic pokemon
2# Scyther can also fit into lots of decks. Beatdown decks use Scyther for
its ability to do 60 damage on turn 2, to deal with Fighting resistant
flyers, and to protect themselves from other Fighting decks. Stall decks use
it as a wall with a free Retreat and Resistance to Fighting. Combo decks use
it to buy time and do early damage. And it is good to keep four Scythers in a
deck, even though they're weak against fire.

I really like Scyther, and I think that you should use him too.
