Pokemon riddle #7

crayZender

I am a creature of transition, yet I am often defined by what I am not.

I was the very first to ever possess a unique biological trait, one that allowed me to change my nature entirely, yet I could never return to what I was. My identity is a mathematical anomaly; despite my appearance, I share a base stat total with my predecessor, making my "growth" a lateral move rather than an ascent.

Though I am a master of the air, I am grounded by the weight of my own name. I am the only one of my kind to lose a limb upon evolving, trading a pair of legs for a pair of wings, yet I am forever associated with a "scythe" I no longer carry.

Who am i?

I say Scizor because "master of the air" meaning it can fly "but grounded by the weight" being steel (I know it ends with "of my name" but I don't know what to do with that)

Kleavor is a good choice though
