Where To Get Scyther in Pokémon FRLG

The only ways to obtain Scyther in FireRed are by purchasing it with Coins from the Celadon City Game Corner, or by catching it at the Safari Zone. In Pokémon LeafGreen, Scyther does not appear anywhere – so the only way to get one is by trading from FireRed into LeafGreen.

Scyther costs 5,500 Coins at the Game Corner, which can be won from slot machines or purchased with Pokécollars.

Or for the Safari Zone, Scyther can be found in Area 1 and the Center Area, but it has pretty low encounter and catch rates.

Method 1: The Game Corner

The earliest way to get Scyther is by purchasing it from the Rocket Game Corner in Celadon City. However, it will not be cheap, and may be very time consuming since Scyther costs 5,500 Coins which will take a while to obtain.

Keep in mind that Scyther is only in the Game Corner in the FireRed version of the game.

How To Buy Scyther From the Game Corner

To get the 5,500 Coins necessary for Scyther, you can take one of two paths:

Path 1: Win the Coins in the slot machines. Path 2: Buy the Coins, which will cost a total of 110,000 Pokédollars.

I would personally opt for buying the Coins, but it may take a while to save up that kind of cash.

However, the slot machines are very unfair. So you’ll need to be extremely lucky to win the Coins you need.

Once you have the Coins, just walk into the smaller building on the right of the Game Corner, and talk to the lady in the middle behind the counter.

Method 2: The Safari Zone

If you don’t want to support Team Rocket’s Shady practices, or if you just want a much quicker way of catching Scyther, then you can head to the Safari Zone in Fuchsia City.

The Safari Zone is at the very top of Fuchsia City. You have to enter a building with a yellow roof and pay 500 Pokédollars to get in, but it’s well worth the price.

Unfortunately, only FireRed has Scyther in the Safari Zone.

Where Are The Wild Scyther?

Scyther is located in two different areas in the Safari Zone. In all of these areas, it has a pretty low encounter rate, and an extremely low catch rate.

Location 1: Safari Zone Area 1, East (1% Encounter Rate)

Location 2: Safari Zone Center Area (4% Encounter Rate)

As you can see, you’re more likely to encounter a Scyther in the Center Area.

However, those Scyther will be around level 23, while the one in Area 1 will be closer to level 28.

How To Increase Your Odds Of Finding Wild Scyther

There’s a little trick to finding Scyther more often in the Safari Zone.

If you use a repel in FRLG, then you won’t encounter Pokémon that are a lower level than the first position Pokémon in your party.

Since we know that Scyther is about level 28 in Area 1, we can take advantage of a Max Repel so that we’re more likely to find it. Here’s how:

• Purchase a couple of Max Repels from the Pokémart in Fuchsia City (700 Pokédollars a piece)
• Set the first Pokémon in your party as a level 25 – 28 Pokémon
• Head to Area 1 of the Safari Zone (East)
• Use a Max Repel and run through tall grass until you encounter a Scyther

With this trick, I encountered Scyther within my first 4 wild Pokémon. However, I had to use this trick a few times before I was actually able to catch Scyther, due to its low capture rate.

Rock, Bait, or Ball?

When you encounter wild Scyther, you can either use a Ball, Bait, or throw a Rock.

There are Pros and Cons to each action:

• The Ball has a chance to catch Scyther, but the catch rate is very low
• Throwing a Rock will increase the chance of Scyther running away, but make it twice as easy to catch
• Throwing Bait will make Scyther stay for an extra few turns, but it’ll be twice as hard to catch

Overall, it’s really person preference which strategy you choose.

Many players believe that it’s better to just throw the Safari Balls because Scyther is likely to run away no matter what you do. And this will give you the best chance of catching it.

However, all options have about the same success rate. Catching Scyther just comes down to persistence, so good luck and stay strong!

A jack of all trades when it comes to gaming. I can sit down for hours in a casual playthrough of Pokémon, or I can spend months trying to hit Diamond in League of Legends. I love and appreciate everything about games, and love sharing that passion with my readers.

The Game Corner has been a staple of every Pokemon game up to Generation IV. Here you can buy coins, test your luck, and win fabulous prizes, including new Pokemon and TMs you won't get anywhere else.

TM23 Dragon Rage: 3300 Coins A decent move and the only Dragon-type one in the game. Will always deal 40HP damage to anything regardless of type, stats, or weakness. Can be learned by the Dragons and dragonesque Pokemon including Charizard and Aerodactyl. You can probably figure out better options for these Pokemon later in the game but if you have some money to blow after the fourth badge it can be helpful to have a set damage attack.

TM15 Hyper Beam: 5500 Coins A very powerful Normal-type move. 150 Base Power, but forces you to recharge after using if you don't faint the enemy. Attach it to a strong and fast Pokemon with great Attack power (like Gyarados) and go hog wild.

TM50 Substitute: 7700 Coins A support move which creates a miniature doll of your Pokemon using a bit of its health to absorb stat-drops, conditions, and damage until its threshold is reached and it breaks. Not as useful as in later generations but can still be used for a good strategy or two.

#030 Nidorina/ #033 Nidorino: 1200 Coins If you didn't catch one of the Poison-type Nidorans earlier in the game you can get their evolved forms here. Both save you a bit of time training and are pretty good when you evolve them. If you forgot to get a Moon Stone, there's one in the Rocket Hideout in the basement or one at Cinnabar Island.

#035 Clefairy: 500 Coins (Red) 750 Coins (Blue) Again, this can make up for not getting one of these rare little buggers in Mt. Moon. It too evolves with a Moon Stone and learns a few good Special moves. Normal-type.

#063 Abra: 120 Coins (Blue) 180 Coins (Red) Makes catching this little Psychic-type a heck of a lot easier now that he can't escape with Teleport. Evolves into a Pokemon with one of the best Special stats in the game (albeit reaching his last form via trade).

#123 Scyther: 5500 Coins (Red) A formidable Bug/Flying-type Pokemon with great Speed and Attack. Only found in the Red Version and in the Safari Zone, he's much easier to get with slots than randomly tossing balls at him and hoping for the best.

#127 Pinsir: 2500 Coins (Blue) Another Bug-type Pokemon with a killer stat set version exclusive, this time Pokemon Blue. Again, only found in the Safari Zone for the rest of the game.

#139 Porygon: 6500 Coins (Blue) 9999 Coins (Red) Exclusive to the slots, Porygon is very expensive in both versions. If you're looking for a strong battler, it's not going to be Porygon, though it has a fun novelty to it you could try and make work with its strong movepool. Normal-type.

#147 Dratini: 2800 Coins (Red) 4600 Coins (Blue) The only Dragon-type family in the game is found in its genesis only here and at the Safari Zone. Extremely rare and learns a myriad of great attacks, Dratini would make a smooth addition to any team.

• Where To Get TM11 Sunny Day in Pokémon FRLG

TM11 Sunny Day can be found in Area 2 of the Safari Zone. It’s located on the ground in a strip of tall grass next to a small body of water in the center of the area.

There are no special requirements needed to enter the Safari Zone, so you can pick up this TM as soon as you reach Fuchsia City. But this is also the only copy of TM11 in the game, so the only way to obtain more copies is via trading.

TM11 Sunny Day Location (Step-by-Step)

Step 1: Starting from the Fuchsia City Pokémon Center, hop over the ledge and head north.

Step 2: Ahead at the very northern end of town is where you’ll find the Safari Zone.

You can either go straight north and go through cuttable trees along the way, or you can wrap around to the right and head up & around to reach the entrance.

Step 3: Either way, enter the building and pay the $500 Poké Dollars required to get into the Safari Zone.

Step 4: Once you’re inside the Safari Zone’s first area, head northeast above the nearby house.

Step 5: Keep northeast through the tall grass and walk towards the dirt path in the very top-right corner of this area.

Step 6: Take this dirt path and you’ll enter the second area of the Safari Zone.

Step 7: Now in Area 2, continue walking east past the sign.

Step 8: Keep east through the tall grass, walking alongside the bushes.

Step 9: Just ahead is an elevated rock platform.

Head up the small stairs, then turn towards the left and go down the next set of stairs nearby.

Step 10: From the bottom of the stairs, head north and look for a small strip of tall grass on your right surrounded by water.

Step 11: TM11 Sunny Day will be found at the end of this strip of land.

TM11 Sunny Day Details + Uses

Sunny Day is a Fire-type move that serves many different purposes in-game.

It’s most commonly used to boost a Fire-type team, but this move can also be deployed to counter an opponent’s Water Pokémon. Unfortunately you’ll get this TM long after Misty’s gym, but it can still have a lot of value in your playthrough.

Here are some quick tips about how you can use Sunny Day in FireRed & LeafGreen:

• Using TM11 Sunny Day creates sunny conditions in battle. This weather lasts 5 turns or until another type of weather condition is introduced.
• Sunny Day modifies damage in a big way. Fire-type moves are boosted by 50% power, while Water-type moves are reduced by 50%.
• Certain abilities benefit from Sunny Day weather conditions.
• Pokémon with the Flower Gift Ability will increase their team’s Attack and Special Defense by 50%.
• Pokémon with the Chlorophyll ability will have their Speed doubled.
• Pokémon with the Solar Power ability will receive a 50% boost in Special Attack, but lose 1/8th HP each turn.
• SolarBeam won’t require a charging turn during sunny weather. With Sunny Day affecting the weather, SolarBeam can be used the same turn without a charge turn.

In FireRed & LeafGreen, only Magmar can learn Sunny Day via level-up. So grabbing TM11 is a must if you’d like to boost the power of your Fire-type attackers.

Plenty of Fire-type Pokémon are eligible to learn Sunny Day via TM though – including Charizard, Arcanine, Ninetails, and Rapidash.

Celadon City

Celadon City is located between Route 7 to the east and Route 16 to the west. The Celadon Department Store in the northwest offers all kinds of items for sale. The Celadon Mansion is a hotel, with a group known as Game Freak as its current occupants. Visitors can try their luck at the Game Corner in the heart of the city and redeem their winnings at the Prize Corner next door. The Celadon Gym stands on a hill in the southwest part of town.

Celadon Mansion

The tall building in the north part of town is Celadon Mansion .

Speak to the elderly woman on the first floor to receive a cup of Tea , a healthier alternative to the usual drinks . It's not meant for Pokémon consumption, however, so hold onto it for now.

On the third floor, Game Freak 's game designer promises a reward for showing him your completed Pokédex .

The Amazing Eevee

To further this goal of completing the Pokédex, leave an empty slot in your party and follow the path behind the Pokémon Center to find a break in the trees. Enter the mansion through the back door and climb to the top floor to obtain an Eevee . This Pokémon's unique genetic makeup allows it to evolve into one of several different forms. Exposure to a Water Stone , ThunderStone , or Fire Stone will cause it to evolve into Vaporeon , Jolteon , or Flareon , respectively. Any one will make a useful addition to your team, as they can cover your first Pokémon 's weakness. These stones can only be purchased in the nearby Department Store.

Celadon Department Store

The Celadon Department Store is the largest shop in Kanto . Nearly any item a Trainer could want can be found here.

The Trainer's Market is found on the second floor. Everyday items like Great Balls and Super Potions are offered here.

The third floor holds the TV Game Shop, with various video games on display. There are no items for sale, but the clerk behind the counter is a Move Tutor who offers to teach Counter to a compatible Pokémon. This move retaliates from any physical hit with double the damage taken.

Wise Man Gifts is located on the fourth floor. The stones that cause certain Pokémon to evolve can be purchased here. Be sure to pick up a Poké Doll or two, as they are useful for running from wild Pokémon.

The Drugstore can be found on the fifth floor. Battle items and vitamins are offered here.

Rooftop Square

The Rooftop Square houses a picnic area and several vending machines . Each machine offers Fresh Water , Soda Pop , and Lemonade . If you purchase one of each drink for the little girl nearby, she rewards you with TM16 ( Light Screen ), TM20 ( Safeguard ), and TM33 ( Reflect ), respectively.

Celadon Gym

CELADON CITY POKéMON GYM LEADER: ERIKA The Nature Loving Princess!

The Celadon Gym specializes in Grass-type Pokémon. This type is generally vulnerable against Fire -, Ice -, Flying -, Poison -, and Bug-type attacks. Most Pokémon inside are also part-Poison, which leaves them exposed to Psychic moves, as well. Water , Rock , and Ground Pokémon are best kept on the sidelines. Grass Pokémon tend to harass their target with status ailments, so it is a good idea to bring healing items like Antidote , Parlyz Heal , and Awakening . Once the first few Gym Trainers have been defeated, have a Pokémon use Cut on one of the small trees to reach the clearing with the Gym Leader.

After the battle, Erika awards you the Rainbow Badge , which ensures obedience from all Pokémon up to level 50 and enables the use of Strength in the field. She also gives you TM19 ( Giga Drain ) as a prize.

Fickle Fortune

Stop by the restaurant on the city's south side and talk to the man near the back wall. A string of bad luck at the slot machines has cost him all of his money, so he has no more use for his Coin Case and gives it to you.

Shady Dealings

Several Team Rocket Grunts can be seen loitering around the city. Next door to the restaurant, there are workers organizing the transport of 2,000 Pokémon every month to the Game Corner to be used as prizes. Numbers like that mean money, and are sure to draw Team Rocket's attention. Whatever the group may be involved in, as one of the workers points out, it surely has nothing to do with a hidden switch in the Game Corner.

Game Corner

The prizes offered next door are expensive, so it will require a large number of coins to receive all of them. Coins may be purchased at the counter in sets of 50 for $ 1,000 and sets of 500 for $ 10,000. Others can be obtained by speaking with other patrons, and even more can be found dropped on the ground.

A Secret Switch?

Nothing seems out of the ordinary at first, but there is something off about the man in black who is fixated on a poster on the back wall. When you try to speak to him, he picks a fight with you. Defeat his two Pokémon and he retreats, leaving the poster unguarded. Inspect it to find a secret switch hidden underneath; press this switch and a hidden door opens to the right, revealing a secret stairway leading underground.

Prize Corner

Rocket hideout.

The Rocket Hideout is a secret underground complex used by the group as their base of operations. Rumors point to a certain item being located somewhere in Celadon that can identify the ghosts of Pokémon Tower . It would not be surprising for Team Rocket to have acquired an item as valuable as this, so be sure to take it back if you can find it!

B1F (North)

Visit the western room to get an Escape Rope , then take the stairs down to B2F.

Go west to fight the next Team Rocket Grunt. Further west is a maze of spinner tiles meant to thwart any intruders; step on one of these arrow tiles to be sent spinning until you reach a stopper tile.

Enter the maze and follow the spinner tiles to the stopper tile in the northwest. Backtrack carefully to reach an X Speed in the northeast corner. Collect the Moon Stone , TM12 ( Taunt ), and Super Potion on the way southward. Step on the southernmost spinner tile to reach the maze exit and climb the stairs to the east.

Battle the two Rocket Grunts here and pick up the Hyper Potion .

Backtrack through the east side of the maze and head down the stairs to the northeast.

Go south past the lone Rocket Grunt to reach TM21 ( Frustration ), then head west to enter the second maze of spinner tiles. Collect the Rare Candy on the way southward, then battle another Rocket Grunt. Pick up the BlackGlasses and go downstairs.

B4F (Northwest)

On this first visit to B4F, it is only possible to reach the two rooms on the west side. Pick up the Max Ether on a table to the south, then visit the northwest room. Pick up TM49 ( Snatch ) and battle the nearby Rocket Grunt. Talk to him afterward and he drops the Lift Key , which operates the elevator in the southeast part of the complex.

Climb back up to B2F and make your way through the larger maze again to reach the elevator. Take it down to B4F.

B4F (Southeast)

Exit the elevator and go west to reach a Calcium . Defeat the last two Rocket Grunts and the electronic door that they are guarding opens. Step inside to confront the Rocket boss.

VS Giovanni

Both Giovanni 's Onix and Rhyhorn take massive damage from Grass and Water attacks. His Kangaskhan takes serious damage only from Fighting moves. Avoid using attacking moves if Onix uses Rage , as this boosts its Attack every time it takes damage.

Giovanni cannot believe that he lost, but acknowledges that you raise your Pokémon with great care. He says that a child like you could never understand his goals, then he and most of the other Rockets disappear. Be sure to pick up the Silph Scope that he leaves behind. Ride the elevator to B1F and battle one last Rocket Grunt on the way out.

The Key to the City

With the cup of Tea from Celadon Mansion , you can pass through Saffron City on the way back to Pokémon Tower . Enter Saffron's west gate and the guard sees that you have a beverage. If you give it to him, he shares it with the other three guards which now allows you to reach the city from any direction. Travel eastward through the city to return to Route 8 and Lavender Town .

Lavender Town

Pokémon tower.

The Ghost Pokémon of Pokémon Tower are immune to Normal - and Fighting-type attacks, but are vulnerable to Dark-type attacks. The spirits can be relentless, so it may be useful to bring a supply of Repels and Poké Dolls along to avoid them as much as possible. There are still many possessed Channelers here as well, so be sure to bring some Super Potions along.

Rival Battle 5

By this point, Blue has assembled a team that includes Grass , Fire , and Water Pokémon to cover his weaknesses. His first Pokémon takes the place of either Exeggcute , Growlithe , or Gyarados , whichever matches its type. His Pidgeotto can still harass Grass- and Bug-type Pokémon with Gust , and strike first with Quick Attack . Exeggcute can induce Sleep with Hypnosis , so use Awakenings as necessary. Growlithe's Ember can deal a decent amount of damage and may cause a Burn . As Blue's only fully-evolved Pokémon, his Gyarados has the biggest offensive presence so be sure to take it down quickly. Kadabra takes super effective damage from Bug-, Ghost -, and Dark-type moves, but physical moves will wear it down as well. Blue's first Pokémon has grown to level 25 and learned some new moves, but it should not be too much to handle. Use super effective moves to send your rival packing and continue up the tower.

If the player chose Bulbasaur :

If the player chose charmander :, if the player chose squirtle :.

Grab the Escape Rope by the north wall and climb the stairs to 4F.

Pick up the Elixir and Awakening in the center of the room, and the Great Ball near the south wall. Climb the western stairs.

A Channeler in the middle of the fifth floor has not been possessed and maintains a healing area with her white magic. When a Trainer enters this protected zone, all of their Pokémon will be fully healed. A Cleanse Tag can be found here, as well; when held by the lead Pokémon, it decreases the chance of encountering wild Pokémon by 33%. Battle another Channeler or two and grab the Nugget before taking the eastern stairs.

Collect the X Accuracy to the south, then northward past three more Channelers. Grab the Rare Candy in your path and proceed to the south stairway. As you approach, the ghost attacks and the Silph Scope activates, revealing a level 30 Marowak . Unfortunately, this spirit cannot be caught and must be defeated.

When the battle is over, the mother Marowak's spirit is calmed. Finally able to rest, she departs to the afterlife.

Climb the final stairway to the seventh floor.

Defeat the three Rocket Grunts and speak to Mr. Fuji . He thanks you for calming Marowak's spirit and asks that you accompany him to his home, the Volunteer Pokémon House, at the foot of the tower.

Mr. Fuji's house

Speak to Mr. Fuji to receive the Poké Flute as thanks. This instrument awakens any sleeping Pokémon who may hear its music. With this, you can finally wake the two Snorlax who have been blocking the way to southern Kanto . But first, head west to return to Saffron City and take on the next Gym.

An insider's guide to Voronezh

Popular nature reserve Divnogorye in the southern part of the Voronezh region. Source: Lori / Legion Media

Interesting facts

•   Voroznezh’s satellite town Novovoronezh, which is famous for its nuclear power station, is located 40 kilometres from Voronezh itself.

•   Voronezh is divided historically into two banks: the city centre is located on the right bank, while on the left bank are all the factories and the city’s industrial might. In the XVII-XVIII more than 200 battleships were built and launched here for Russia’s Navy.

•   ‘There is an ‘Ulitsa Voronezhskaya’ in St. Petersburg, Moscow and in many other cites.  Dmitiry Sautin  - the 8 times Olympic diving medallist (two of these are gold medals) is one of the city’s most famous sons.

What can you see?

The best place for a walk around the city with an excellent view of the left bank is the Admiralteyskaya Naberezhnaya, which was constructed to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the Russian Navy.

Voronezh is justifiably famous for its theatre school. According to the Russian edition of the journal ‘Forbes’, the Kamenniy Teatr in Voronezh is among the top 10 most interesting provincial theatres worth visiting in Russia. It is advisable to purchase tickets (which cost from 500 roubles) (that would be 14.96 USD or 9.14 GBP) in advance from the theatre’s  website  . We recommend watching the drama ‘Kaleka s ostrova Inishmaan’ (the Cripple from Inishmaan Island), which is performed in Russian. Also keep an eye on the Voronezhskiy Akademicheskiy Teatr im. Aleksey Koltsov ( Voronezh Academic Drama Theatre named after Aleksey Koltsov’s  ) for the play ‘Priruchenie stroptivoy’ (The Taming of the Shrew) and the  Voronezhskiy Gosudarstevnniy Teatr Operi I Baleta   (Voronezh State Opera and Ballet Theatre) for the ballet ‘Shchelkunchik' (‘The Nutcracker’). Voronezh is a very ‘green’ city, If you want to go for a walk ask a taxi driver to take you to Koltsovskiy Skver (in the centre of the city), or to the Pervomayskiy Sad, or Petrovskiy Skver.

The city’s main street is Prospekt Revolyutsii (the former Bolshaya Dvoryanksaya) and is rich in restaurants, souvenir shops and cinemas. You can take lovely photographs on  Karla Marksa  street (on Kamenniy Most, which brides are ‘carried across’ in the wedding tradition) and Teatralnaya Ulitsa or Admiralteyskaya Ploshchad.

There are a great number of Orthodox Churches in Voronezh. The most interesting churches to visit are the Blagoveshchenskiy Kafedralniy Sobor (Annunciation Cathedral), Pokrovskiy Sobor (Protection of Our Lady’s Church) and the Uspenskiy Admiralteyskiy Khram (Dormition Admiralty Church) – this is the oldest church in Voronezh, which recalls Peter the Great’s time.

If weather permits, its worth travelling to the southern part of the Voronezh region where the popular nature reserve  Divnogorye  is located with its unique cultural sites.

Voronezh is divided historically into two banks: the city centre is located on the right one. Source: Lori / Legion Media

What can you take home?

•  ‘Pesnya Koltsova’ (Koltsov’s song) marmalade sweets (made locally)

•  White or buckwheat honey (this can be purchased at the local market)

•  Wall mounted plates featuring city scenes painted by local artists

Aleksandr’s travel advice

•  There is an international airport in Voronezh and there are also flights from Moscow. As an alternative you can travel to the city by bus/train/car from the capital.

•  When choosing a hotel check our  ‘Art Hotel’  in the centre of the city or the cheaper hotel  Azimut  .

•  Be very careful if you are driving around the city – accidents happen everywhere and drivers are very reckless.

•  There is no metro system in the city – the most popular form of transport is the route taxi and usually a taxi around the city costs between 100 to 300 roubles (that would be from 2.99 to 8.98 USD or 1.83 to 5.49 GBP).

•  The best pizza in the city is made in pizzeria ‘Strekoza’ ( Plekhanovskaya Ulitsa 53  ). Try the ‘Calzone mi amore’.

•  If you travelled here alone and you have not managed to meet anyone – head straight for the epicentre of the city’s glamorous night life – the  ‘Angels’ club  . The club’s usual clientele are the ‘crème’ of Voronezh’s youth as well as lots and lost of beautiful girls. The club employs very strict face control so it is best to leave sneakers and ripped jeans at home.

•   Barkhat  is an expensive and fashionable Karaoke bar with a dance floor and is therefore busy.

•  One of the biggest restaurants in Europe with more than 1,000 seats is to be found right in the centre of Voronezh -  ‘Balagan city’  . The coffee house ‘Mesto’ and DJ-Café ‘Dzhumandzhi’ stand out among others.

•  The ‘Galareya Chizhova’ is the largest shopping centre in Voronezh, which belongs to a businessman of the same name, while the shopping centre ‘Moskovskiy Prospekt’ is a little smaller.

•  The climate is more ‘southern’ than Moscow and is therefore softer and milder. You can confidently plan a trip between May and September and you will be lucky with the weather.

Bon Voyage!

The major city of Voronezh, with a population of over one million, was originally founded to protect Russia’s southern borders. By the end of the 17th Century Peter the Great had made the city the centre of Russian shipbuilding and the flagship Goto Predestinatsia was built here, which has now become one of the symbols of the city. During the Second World War much of the city was destroyed, meaning the city’s architecture is now predominantly Soviet. The city is also the unofficial capital of Russia's Black Earth Region.
