Kleavor (/ˈkliːvɔːr/ ), known in Japan as Basagiri (Japanese: バサギリ), is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise. Introduced in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, a game set in the franchise's distant past, it has since appeared in multiple games including Pokémon Go and the Pokémon Trading Card Game, as well as media related to the franchise.
Classified as a Bug- and Rock-type Pokémon, it is an evolution of the Pokémon Scyther, who first appeared in the games Pokémon Red and Blue, if Scyther is given a Black Augurite item. In Arceus, Kleavor is regarded as a "Noble Pokémon" and players first encounter it as a boss due to it being driven into a sudden frenzy.
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.
