Kleavor (/ˈkliːvɔːr/), known in Japan as Basagiri (Japanese: バサギリ), is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise. It is an evolution of the Pokémon Scyther, who first appeared in the games Pokémon Red and Blue. Introduced in Pokémon Legends: Arceus it has appeared in multiple games including Pokémon Go and the Pokémon Trading Card Game, as well as media related to the franchise.
Kleavor has received a primarily positive reception debut. It has been significantly analyzed for various elements of its design, such as in regard to its references to real-world insects and Japanese culture. Its design has also received both praise and criticism comparing to Scyther and its other evolution, Scizor, considering it either a suitable counterpart alongside the other two, or denouncing it as a sign of declining creativity in the Pokémon franchise over the years.
