'''Kecleon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: カクレオン ''Kakureon'') is a {{ | It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon. | ||
Kecleon, along with {{p|Wailmer}} and {{p|Azurill}}, was one of the first {{cat|Generation III Pokémon}} revealed, on March 7, 2001. | |||
== | ==Biology== | ||
Kecleon | Kecleon is a bipedal, reptilian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that is usually green. On either side of its head are yellow frills, which are connected by lines to its yellow lips and rings around its eyes. There are small ridges on its shoulders and a red zigzag stripe around its midsection. The hands and feet have three short digits each, and it has yellow soles. It also has a long skinny tail that is usually curled tightly in a spiral. | ||
Kecleon is able to change the colors of its body at will and is known for frequently using this ability to camouflage itself. However, it is unable to change the color of its red stripe. Its color also changes based on its mood and health, darkening in color with better health. By using camouflage to appear almost invisible, it can sneak up on prey and ensnare it with its long pink tongue. If unnoticed for too long, though, it pouts and may never reveal itself. This Pokémon lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|tropical and temperate forests}}. | |||
Although Kecleon typically appears as green with yellow stripes, it is known to possess various non-{{Shiny}} color variations. A purplish variant of Kecleon has been seen in [[EP205|the anime]], the [[Kecleon (Chilling Reign 122)|TCG]], and the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]]; the purplish Kecleon in the latter also has light-green outlines rather than yellow. Blue, red, and brown variants of Kecleon have made a singular appearance in the [[Kecleon (Chilling Reign 122)|TCG]]. Whether these variants are an example of it changing color or if they are different kinds of Kecleon is unclear. | |||
Kecleon is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Color Change}} as an [[Ability]]. In [[Generation VIII]], this was also true for {{a|Protean}}. | |||

[[ | ==Game data== | ||
===NPC appearances=== | |||
* {{g|Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire}}: Kecleon has the first Bonus Field on the [[Ruby Field]]. It will turn invisible, though a [[Devon Scope]] can be knocked out of the tree to make it visible for a short time. Kecleon must be knocked over and then hit with the ball ten times in two minutes to win the round. | |||
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]]: Two Kecleon; an older green Kecleon and a younger purple Kecleon, run [[Kecleon Shop]], a shop in the game's town settlement. Kecleon may also run shops in [[dungeon]]s. They are normally courteous, but shoplifting will result in multiple high-level wild Kecleon appearing to attack the player. From [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (WiiWare)|the WiiWare games]] and up to [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]], only the green Kecleon is running the shop. | |||

Due to its Abilities, this Pokémon will change its type throughout the battle, thus changing its weaknesses. For instance, if hit by (with {{a|Color Change}}), or after using (with {{a|Protean}}) a {{type|Fighting}} move, it will become more vulnerable to a {{type|Psychic}} attack and more resistant to a {{type|Dark}} attack if either is used next. | |||

== | ==Trivia== | ||
* Kecleon is the first Pokémon in the anime to officially demonstrate {{a|Color Change|an Ability}}. | |||
* Kecleon is the hardest Pokémon to recruit in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], with a base recruit rate of -33.9%. It can only be recruited if the {{player}} is level 90 or higher, and if they are holding a [[Recruitment items|Friend Bow]]. Even after all this, Kecleon's recruit rate is only 0.1%. Requirements changed in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time, Explorers of Darkness]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Explorers of Sky]]; the player must instead be at level 99, while holding a [[Golden Mask]] with the "Fast Friend" [[IQ]] skill; these requirements come in conjunction with its base recruit rate decreasing to -49.5%. | |||
* The [[Pokémon Colosseum beta#Unused Shadow Pokémon e-mails|internal files]] for [[Pokémon Colosseum]] lists Kecleon as being meant to be a [[Shadow Pokémon]] multiple times. | |||
* Kecleon is the last [[Generation III]] Pokémon to debut in {{g|GO}}. It debuted on January 7, 2023, nearly four years after the last time a Generation III Pokémon debuted in GO (Speed Forme {{p|Deoxys}}, on June 28, 2019). | |||

Kecleon (Japanese: カクレオン Kakureon) is a Normal-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III.
It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.
Kecleon, along with Wailmer and Azurill, was one of the first Generation III Pokémon revealed, on March 7, 2001.
Biology
Kecleon is a bipedal, reptilian Pokémon that is usually green. On either side of its head are yellow frills, which are connected by lines to its yellow lips and rings around its eyes. There are small ridges on its shoulders and a red zigzag stripe around its midsection. The hands and feet have three short digits each, and it has yellow soles. It also has a long skinny tail that is usually curled tightly in a spiral.
Kecleon is able to change the colors of its body at will and is known for frequently using this ability to camouflage itself. However, it is unable to change the color of its red stripe. Its color also changes based on its mood and health, darkening in color with better health. By using camouflage to appear almost invisible, it can sneak up on prey and ensnare it with its long pink tongue. If unnoticed for too long, though, it pouts and may never reveal itself. This Pokémon lives in tropical and temperate forests.
Although Kecleon typically appears as green with yellow stripes, it is known to possess various non-Shiny color variations. A purplish variant of Kecleon has been seen in the anime, the TCG, and the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series; the purplish Kecleon in the latter also has light-green outlines rather than yellow. Blue, red, and brown variants of Kecleon have made a singular appearance in the TCG. Whether these variants are an example of it changing color or if they are different kinds of Kecleon is unclear.
Kecleon is the only known Pokémon that can have Color Change as an Ability. In Generation VIII, this was also true for Protean.
Game data
NPC appearances
- Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire: Kecleon has the first Bonus Field on the Ruby Field. It will turn invisible, though a Devon Scope can be knocked out of the tree to make it visible for a short time. Kecleon must be knocked over and then hit with the ball ten times in two minutes to win the round.
- Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series: Two Kecleon; an older green Kecleon and a younger purple Kecleon, run Kecleon Shop, a shop in the game's town settlement. Kecleon may also run shops in dungeons. They are normally courteous, but shoplifting will result in multiple high-level wild Kecleon appearing to attack the player. From the WiiWare games and up to Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon, only the green Kecleon is running the shop.

Due to its Abilities, this Pokémon will change its type throughout the battle, thus changing its weaknesses. For instance, if hit by (with Color Change), or after using (with Protean) a Fighting-type move, it will become more vulnerable to a Psychic-type attack and more resistant to a Dark-type attack if either is used next.

Trivia
- Kecleon is the first Pokémon in the anime to officially demonstrate an Ability.
- Kecleon is the hardest Pokémon to recruit in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team, with a base recruit rate of -33.9%. It can only be recruited if the player is level 90 or higher, and if they are holding a Friend Bow. Even after all this, Kecleon's recruit rate is only 0.1%. Requirements changed in Explorers of Time, Explorers of Darkness, and Explorers of Sky; the player must instead be at level 99, while holding a Golden Mask with the "Fast Friend" IQ skill; these requirements come in conjunction with its base recruit rate decreasing to -49.5%.
- The internal files for Pokémon Colosseum lists Kecleon as being meant to be a Shadow Pokémon multiple times.
- Kecleon is the last Generation III Pokémon to debut in Pokémon GO. It debuted on January 7, 2023, nearly four years after the last time a Generation III Pokémon debuted in GO (Speed Forme Deoxys, on June 28, 2019).
- Due to an oversight caused by replacing Kecleon data by Meltan around September 22, 2018, Kecleon became gender unknown[1] and used Meltan's cry, although the latter issue was quickly fixed.[2]
- In an official trailer showcasing Kecleon's debut, Kecleon uses Meltan's cry even though the trailer does not use actual game footage.[3]
- Due to an oversight caused by replacing Kecleon data by Meltan around September 22, 2018, Kecleon became gender unknown[1] and used Meltan's cry, although the latter issue was quickly fixed.[2]
