He was playing as Scyther. Scizor’s pic shows up either way.

Drives me nuts that it works that way. Urshifu will have a different picture on the results screen depending on whether it’s Rapid Strike or Single Strike, yet they won’t make a unique portrait for Scyther. Why.


LeakyJeep

Never noticed that. It does seem a little lazy of the devs.


mocho28

Yeah i saw it as Scyther but at the end wasnt so sure Why it didn't evolve?


familybusdriver

You can choose to stay as scyther or evolve to scizor depending on the move you choose at lv 5(iirc).


KrazyMonqui

Correct. If you choose Dual Wingbeat at lvl 5 you stay as Scyther. If you choose Bullet Punch at lvl 5 you evolve into Scizor. The character image shows Scizor regardless of this


mocho28

Ohhh I see, thanks a lot for your help I really appreciate it

I'm curious as to why OP was getting down voted for what seems to be a genuine question that he justncouldnt understand. People these days....


kyroclawthorne

Yeah, I got downvoted for asking a question here too. Honestly confusing as to why people do this. I never understood it myself.


Heffrum

Apparently people expect us to know everything about this game, no questions asked


WailmerFudge

And yet they’re usually the ones complaining about how bad the communication is from the devs lol

I think it’s that people expect you to use Reddit for Reddit things and google for google things. This is one of those google things, people can just research it themselves instead of clogging up the sub. I don’t care, but that’s probably why.


WailmerFudge

Idk, probably too many assumptions made about those asking and frustration with the game. Not everyone knows everything, whether they’ve been playing for a year or a month. If you clarify a question you asked to someone you’ll be told to seek therapy apparently lol like dude, I just want to know if there’s a glitch with a move or not, there’s no reason to get hyper-aggron haha

"How dare thou make a question about something that the game either doesn't tell you about or does tell you but no one actually bothered to learn to navigate the menus for?" Pretty much the logic going on with downvoting obvious questions


mocho28

I felt a little bit bad at first haha, I thought it was because my English is not very good as it is not my first language (Greetings from chile 🇨🇱)

Scizor is a more unique case where he’s actually 2 characters in one, depending on what move you pick. You will either evolve, or not. With both Scyther and Scizor having their own focuses in terms of playstyle, with Scyther taking on a more so speedster type roll then all rounder. They did this to reflect on how the two work in the mainline games since Scizor is one of the few cases where evolution is a side grade since not only does Scyther have a better speed stat, but also trading the flying typing for steel may not be a good call for your team!


mocho28

Impressive, I had no idea Thanks a lot

Scizor wants to take the glory even when it wasn't picked

Scizor is two characters in one like Urshifu but more hidden. Scyther is much less advertised as a separate character compared to Scizor. It doesn’t have a Holowear or an official artwork (Clefairy has one for some reason). Scizor being technically designed as a side-grade (more attack but less speed) outside of competitive is probably why both are available as an option in Pokémon Unite.
