Kleavor, one of the Hisuian variants, can now be caught in Pokémon Go and, if you’re lucky, you may find its shiny form.

At the time of writing, Kleavor can only be caught via raids in Pokémon Go and you can not evolve a Scyther into a Kleavor. This means you need to attend a raid - either in person or using Remote Raids - and defeat the Kleavor before successfully catching it using Premier Balls.

Below you’ll find Kleavor’s counters and weaknesses in Pokémon Go, so you can add it to your Hisui Pokédex.

Everything else we know about Kleavor

Kleavor is an evolution for Scyther who hails from the Hisui region and made its debut in Pokémon Legends: Arceus. Due to being a Hisuian variant, Kleavor is most likely extinct in the modern day Pokémon universe.

At the time of writing, Kleavor can only be obtained in Pokémon Go by defeating it in a raid and then catching it afterwards. You can not evolve a Scyther into a Kleavor in Pokémon Go. You can, however, catch a shiny Kleavor in Pokémon Go.

Kleavor in Pokémon Legends: Arceus.

The name 'Kleavor' appears to take inspiration from the word cleaver, which is used to describe a large type of knife. This would connect with how its arms have large, axe-like, blades connected to them and how, on the official Pokédex website, Kleavor is described as felling 'towering trees with its crude axes.'

These axe arms also appear to be made from a black stone like obsidian, which connects to how, in Legends: Arceus, Scyther needs an item called Black Augurite to evolve into Kleavor.

Good luck catching Kleavor in Pokémon Go!
