Behavior
Wild Treecko are very territorial, and will attack anyone that comes near their home. Treecko are known for their calm and collected personality and never panic under any circumstances, even when faced with a bigger foe. They sense humidity with their tails to predict the next day's weather.
Treecko lives inside overgrown forests, and is known to be the protectors of the forest's trees. It is known to make its nests on large and tall trees to prevent attack from foes. However, Treecko is a bit of a rarity in the wild, and is more common in captivity. One is most likely to find it in Hoenn.
Treecko first appeared in Get the Show on the Road. Professor Birch was showing May the three Pokémon she had the choice of starting with. She did not choose Treecko because it "creeped her out".
In Having a Wailord of a Time, a Nurse Joy was taking care of a Treecko, Torchic and Mudkip that a little girl named Stephanie was going to choose between as her first Pokémon. Stephanie chose Mudkip, and Stephanie's dad decided to become a Pokémon Trainer with the Treecko as his first Pokémon.
Treecko, the Wood Gecko Pokémon. Treecko are able to climb smooth vertical walls and use their thick tail to attack opponents. Since Treecko build their nests in large trees it is said that those trees will live a very long life.
Treecko was the only starter Pokémon of Hoenn that was not recruited into a protagonist's team at the beginning of the Ruby & Sapphire arc, instead being passed in favor of Mudkip because it looked ugly to the beauty-obsessed Ruby. When it was finally destined to meet its partner, the huge rainstorms caused by Kyogre sent it and the final Hoenn Pokédex drifting away, and after it had finally been recovered by Wally and evolved, it was sent flying away and was lost again, even after the Pokédex was returned. Evolving again into a Sceptile, it was this time caught in the wild by Guile Hideout and stolen by its proper owner, Emerald.
"A Wood Gecko Pokémon. It's a calm and cool creature that is not easily upset. It's also bold enough to stare down Pokémon larger than itself. It makes its home in large trees in forests, and its habit of fiercely defending its territory has some people calling it the "protector of the forest." It uses its thick tail to attack. When it levels up, it evolves into Grovyle."
Treecko is cool, calm, and collected - it never panics under any situation. If a bigger foe were to glare at this Pokémon, it would glare right back without conceding an inch of ground.
It makes its nest in a giant tree in the forest. It ferociously guards against anything nearing its territory. It is said to be the protector of the forest's trees.
Treecko resembles a gecko or lizard. Its design shares some similarities with the leaf-tailed gecko, a species of lizard that blends in with plant-like appendages, and can also climb up flat surfaces.
