The card prints 2 attacks. The strongest asks for 3 Energy and returns 20 damage, which is 7 damage for every Energy card attached.

Retreating costs a further 2 Energy, discarded from this card, and that cost is paid on top of anything in the table.

False Swipe1 Energy card

Double Claw3 Energy cards

What each attack asks a deck to attach before it can be used, drawn as the symbols printed on the card.

One Energy card attaches per turn, so the number of symbols is also the number of turns the attack waits.

Double Claw 3 Energy20 damage for 3 Energy — 7 per Energy card20

Bars are printed damage against this card's own highest attack (20).

Why one of these damage figures carries a symbol

A number on a Pokémon card is not always the number that lands.

False Swipe is printed as ?, so no fixed number is printed at all — the sentence beside it is the whole of the damage.
Double Claw is printed as 20+, so the printed number is a floor — the attack deals at least that much, and the sentence beside it says what adds to it.

Is Scizor 10 efficient for the Energy it asks for?

Printed damage on its own says nothing — a 20 damage attack that needs 3 Energy and one that needs two are different cards. Dividing one by the other puts every attack on the same scale.

Where this sits once the archive is cut by damage instead

The bars above cut the archive by what an attack asks for. Cut the same archive by what an attack prints and the groups come out differently — the damage ranges on record are gathered on one page, which is where a figure like 20 is read as high or low rather than merely large.

What does being a Metal card do for Scizor 10?

Type decides two things at once — which cards take double damage from this one, and which cards deal double to it. Both are read from the weakness printed on each group, not from a rule of thumb.

What knocks out Scizor 10 in one hit, and what does it knock out?

Weakness doubles the damage a Fire attack deals to this card, so the bar it has to clear is 40 printed damage rather than 80.

Why this card was picked to stand opposite

Of the 999 cards in the archive that can remove Scizor 10 in a single attack, this one clears the bar by the smallest margin — 40 printed damage against a bar of 40. Anything printed higher removes it just as surely, so this is where the line actually sits, and this print is legal in Standard play today.

Scizorweak to Fire ×2

Scizorresists Grass -30

Read from the two boxes in the lower-left corner of the card — weakness multiplies incoming damage, resistance subtracts from it.

What the Grass resistance changes

Damage from Grass attacks is reduced before it is applied, so an attack printed high enough to knock this card out on paper may not do it. Resistance is a flat subtraction, not a multiplier — it does not scale with the attack.

Scizor 10 is one print of Scizor. The figures below are about the Pokémon rather than this single card — how many times it has been printed, how tough those prints run, and how many of them can still be played.

Is this the strongest Scizor print, and can the older ones still be played?

38 prints carry this name in the archive, and 34 of them are laid out below. They share a Pokémon but not a card — printed HP, printed damage and tournament legality all move from one print to the next.

Bar height and the number above each bar = highest HP that year; the two digits below = the year.

Which rules apply to Scizor 10, and where can it be played?

Two kinds of rule meet on one card — the sentence printed on the card face, and the rulebook clauses that apply because of what the card carries.

Scizor 10 in depth — what these figures add up to

Three readings of the same card, side by side: what it costs to get going, where it sits among the cards it will be compared with, and what takes it off the field.

What it asks a deck for

Its hardest attack, Double Claw, needs 3 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 3 turns from an empty card.
That works out at 7 damage for every Energy card attached.
Moving it out of the active spot costs 2 more Energy, discarded from the card itself.
It cannot start the game in play — Scyther has to be on the field first.

Where its HP stands, cut four ways

Every card in the archiveNo. 9,046 of 17,290

Metal cardsNo. 634 of 924

Stage 1 cardsNo. 3,399 of 5,102

Neo DiscoveryNo. 11 of 71

What actually removes it

A Fire attack printed at 40 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 80 HP.
1,014 cards in the archive clear that bar.
Going the other way, it removes 33 cards in one attack.
Damage from Grass attacks is reduced before it is applied, so an attack that clears the bar on paper may still fall short.

Scizor 10 — frequently asked questions

How much damage does it take to knock out Scizor 10?

Scizor 10 has 80 HP and a Fire weakness at ×2, so a Fire attack printed at 40 damage or more removes it in one turn. Any other type has to print the full 80.

What is the strongest attack on Scizor 10?

Double Claw, printed at 20 damage for 3 Energy — 7 damage per Energy card. Flip 2 coins. This attack does 20 damage times the number of heads.

What is the retreat cost of Scizor 10?

2 Energy, discarded from this card to move it out of the active spot. Retreating is allowed once per turn.

What does the ? after the damage on False Swipe mean?

It marks the damage as conditional: no fixed figure is printed, so the sentence on the card is the whole of the damage. The full sentence is printed on the card and quoted in the attack table on this page — "Does damage equal to half the Defending Pokémon's remaining HP (rounded down to the nearest 10)."

Can an older Scizor print be played in a tournament?

Legality is read from the print, not from the Pokémon. Of the 34 prints listed on this page, 6 are legal in Standard play. The rest can still be played in formats that accept them, and the table on this page names the regulation mark each print carries.

What does Scizor evolve from?

Scyther. It cannot be played straight from your hand onto an empty spot — the earlier stage has to be in play first.

Can Scizor 10 be played in a tournament?

It is legal in Unlimited play. Standard events run on a rotating list of sets, so check the current rotation before entering one.

Does this page say how good Scizor 10 is in a deck?

No. Every figure here is read from the printed card. Deck lists, tournament results and win rates are not published on this site, because the card files it reads do not contain them.
