Trivia

• Prior to Generation 7, no other Pokémon had the same type combination as Delta Scyther and its evolution.
• Despite having different base stats, Delta Scyther and its evolution, Delta Scizor, both have a base stat total of 500. This makes Delta Scyther and its non-Delta counterpart the only pre-evolutionary forms that have the same base stat total as their evolutions.
• Along with Scyther, Delta Scyther has the highest base stat total of all Pokémon that have not evolved but can still evolve, with 500.
