Question: how scyther evolve in platinum?
Answer: No. The only way to evolve Scyther is trade it with metal coat on it. User Info: Trigduckchu. Trigduckchu - 11 years ago 1 1. No, you need to trade Scyther with the Metal Coat. If you have an AR, you can catch a Scizor, but it won't be the same Pokemon you've raised, of course. Sorry.
