Biology
Scizor is a bipedal, praying mantis-like Pokémon. It is the evolution of Scyther. Scizor has a body composed of steel, which causes it to be unfazed by most attacks that come its way.
It is primarily red in color, with two pairs of grey retractable wings, which it uses to regulate its body temperature. At the end of its arms are two large, round, metallic pincers, capable of cutting anything.
Design & origin
Alongside the praying mantis, Scizor's design may also take inspiration from flying red ants and the wasp mantidfly. Scizor's Japanese name is a reference to the Japanese verb for "to cut" (hasamu), whereas its English name derives from scissors.
Forms
Mega Scizor's pincers have now taken on a diabolical form, able to rip anything to shreds. However, it cannot sustain this form and battle for a while, or else the weight of its pincers will be too much to bear and the heat from Mega Evolution will cause its body to start melting.

Legends: ArceusThough its body is slim, Scizor has tremendous attacking power. Even Scizor’s muscles are made of metal.
ShieldBulky pincers account for one third of Scizor’s body weight. A single swing of one of these pincers will crush a boulder completely.
SwordOnce it has identified something as an enemy, it will continue beating them with its steel-hard pincers until there’s nothing left but scraps.
Ultra MoonIts body is like steel. Its tough, heavy pincers are more suited to smashing enemies than grabbing them.
Ultra SunOnce it has identified an enemy, this Pokémon smashes it mercilessly with pincers hard as steel.
MoonIt uses its wings to adjust its body temperature. Otherwise, its metal body would become too hot and melt in the heat of battle.
SunIt raises its pincers with eyelike markings for intimidation. It also swings them down dangerously.
