IVs carry over when a Pokémon evolves, so pick the spread for the league you mean to play it in, not for the stage you caught it at.

| League | PvPoke rank | Score | Usual moves |

| Ultra | #525 of 851 | 71.7 | Fury Cutter, Night Slash, X Scissor |
These are two different questions. The IV ranks further up say which Scyther to build; the meta rank says whether Scyther is worth building at all. Ranks and movesets come from PvPoke, whose battle simulations produce them, and they move as the meta does.
How to find a good Scyther
The search-string generator builds a string you can paste into the search bar in Pokémon GO. It matches the CP, HP and appraisal stars of the top spreads above — pre-evolutions included — so you can sweep a whole storage box in one go.
To check a Scyther you already own, open the IV ranker and set its IVs. It ranks every stage of the evolution line at once and shows the meta rank beside the IV rank.
