A Pokemon GO player caught a Scyther and have calculated that they had a 1 in 442,368 chance of getting one this rare. Kanto was the first region to have all the monsters available in Pokemon GO, with players able to find them both in wild spawns and events.
While Scyther was available at the launch of Pokemon GO, its shiny form debuted in the augmented reality game in April 2019 at the start of Bug Out, an annual event focused on Bug-type Pokemon. In August of the same year, Niantic added Shadow Scyther, while its shiny form debuted in November at the start of Team GO Rocket Leaders Disruption - the event that marked the debut of Team GO Rocket Leaders in the game. Since then, Scyther can be found in the wild and is often featured in events, one of the most recent being Ultra Unlock: Strength of Steel 2024. Getting a Scyther is not a difficult feat, but one Pokemon GO player surprised everyone by getting a very special one.
