Sceptile is a large bipedal reptilian gecko-like Pokémon that also possess traits of dinosaurs. It has powerfully-built limbs and muscular legs that allow it to run at high speeds to chase after its prey in the jungles where it lives. Its body is mostly vivid green in color, and it has a gracefully rounded belly with a horizontal pale red stripe extending across it. It has a light red chin and narrowed eyes with small slit pupils and yellow scleras, with a red rim around the outsides. It has bladed leaves on its wrists, which it uses to slash (using [[Leaf Blade]]). It has a long, large dark green fern-like plant that resembles a tree for a tail, and a cluster of small round yellow nutrient-rich seeds growing on its back. It has three sharp green claws on both its hands and toes.

Sceptile is an incredible, swift hunter of the forest. It uses its bladed leaves to strike down its prey and battle its foes. It also cares deeply about the plants and trees in the forests where it lives, and raises them with loving care.

Its body is mostly vivid green in color, and it has a gracefully rounded belly with a horizontal pale red stripe extending across it. It has a light red chin and narrowed eyes with small slit pupils and yellow scleras, with a red rim around the outsides. It has bladed leaves on its wrists, which it uses to slash (using Leaf Blade). It has a long, large dark green fern-like plant that resembles a tree for a tail, and a cluster of small round yellow nutrient-rich seeds growing on its back. It has three sharp green claws on both its hands and toes.

Special Abilities
