Special features and gameplay significance

Rocket’s Scyther ex is a Darkness-type Pokémon-ex and a Basic Pokémon with 80 HP. The card is known for its unique mechanics and the special ex rule, where the opponent takes two Prize cards if the card is Knocked Out. This makes the card both strategically interesting and valuable to collectors.

• Bounce: Deals 10 damage and allows switching with a Benched Pokémon after the attack.
• Slashing Strike: Deals 40 damage, but cannot be used two turns in a row.

The card is only available as the holofoil variant in this set and is not graded, not sealed – it is delivered as a raw card, exactly as it was released in 2004.
