Sceptile is based off of a lizard. Sceptile is the final evolution of the Treecko family. Sceptile has six nodules on its back (like those on leguminous plants able to take in nitrogen from the air) and a palm-tree-branch-like tail. It can leap through trees with ease making it to be the fastest Pokémon in the forest. It can also climb walls. Sceptile is also known as the "King of the Forest" because of its fast leaping skill.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Sceptile's signature move prior to Generation IV is Leaf Blade. It is a move known by wild and captive Sceptile alike, learned by Sceptile and Grovyle by practicing "Forest Combat." Also, being a Pokémon bearing seeds bursting with nutrients, it can perfect moves such as SolarBeam and Synthesis, and it is a Pokémon with dragon-like characteristics, so it can learn Dragon Pulse, Dragon Claw, and DragonBreath.

Behavior

Sceptile are very protective of their environment and the Pokémon that live in it. It attacks unwary trainers that wander into its forest. It agilely leaps from tree branches. It has an incredible speed-stat. It is not beaten in terms of quickness.

Habitat

Sceptile, being known as "Lord of the Forest" lives in heavily thick forest. It is known to have nodules like those on leguminous plants bursting with nutrients. It revitalizes fallen trees in its forest.

Origin

Appearance-wise, this Pokémon resembles the dinosaur known as dilophosaurus. The orbs of nutrients on it back may be based off of the fact that many leguminous plants have Nitrogen stored in nodes on their roots.

Name origin

Sceptile's name is likely a play on reptile and Sceptridium, as its tail is similar to a fern in appearance, or possibly sectile, referring to the long, sharp blades growing on its body. It may have also come from scepter, from its title as King of the Forest. Its Japanese name may be based on 樹海 jukai, abundant leafage.

In other languages

  • German: Gewaldro
  • French: Jungko - A combination of jungle and gecko.
  • Korean: 나무킹 Namuking - A combination of 나무 namu (tree) and English king.
