(Spoiler e18) looking for a certain pokemon...

[RandomGuy1 1]

so... i finished e18 by beating hardy, and am looking for a scyther to evolve and add to my team

i'm pretty sure i did all the heat wave blizzard shenanigans to unlock hidden areas in route 4, but i'm yet to confront a scyther. 

Does scyther appear in a certain place or does it simply have an extremely low encounter rate? 

I'm pretty sure it's not the latter because i encountered like 5 shinies while looking for scyther, so i don't know what the problem is. 

Am i missing out on a hidden area?
