2121 Move Taught: Cut
2222  
2323 Scyther teaches Ditto the Cut transformation. Cut allows Ditto to use sharp blades to slice through grass, trees, and other objects to obtain materials like logs and leaves. It is one of the most frequently used moves in the game, as lumber is a core building material.
2424  
2525 Cut can be powered up by eating Bread. After consuming bread, Cut gains a larger area of effect and a charge attack that lets you slice through harder materials, including metal. Higher-tier bread recipes provide stronger buffs.

2727 Specialty: Chop
2828  
2929 Scyther has the Chop specialty. Pokemon with this specialty can process small logs and turn them into lumber automatically. Place Scyther near a log pile or workshop, and it will chip away at logs during its free time. Chop is also required for cooking the Shredded Salad recipe.

Having a Scyther near your crafting area saves significant time on lumber processing.To maximize Cut's effectiveness, eat a Bread before going on a harvesting run.You can also use Cut to bulk-harvest crops by pressing ZR on a mature field, which is faster than picking items one by one with Y.Furnish Scyther's habitat with bright and wooden items to increase its Comfort Level.
