Why can't I find Scyther with Technician?

Question

can scyther have the ability technician because I have 50 of them and none of them have that ability

Comments

Thanks :)

Answer 1

Scyhter with Technician ability available on Generation IV (Platinum/Pearl/Diamond).
If you play FireRed/LeafGreen or Generation III, I think Scyhter only has Swarm ability

Comments

Indeed, in Gen III it only has swarm

Answer 2

Yes, they can. You must be having horrible luck, because its a 50% chance to get either Technician or Swarm. What happened to you is a 1 in 1125899906842624 chance of that happening

Nope, I used a calculator ;)

Answer 3

Yes it does have the chance to know the ability technician. Good luck breeding for it

Answer 4

Yes they can. And there is no chance that you have breed 50 without getting Technician.
