() is the final evolution of Treecko and Grovyle, the -type First partner Pokémon of the Hoenn region, introduced in Generation III. It has a Mega Evolution form which is a / type.
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Sceptile is a large, bipedal, reptilian, gecko-like Pokémon that also possess the 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's Mega Evolved form gives it a large tree like tail, making it look dragon-like.
===Behavior===
Sceptile are incredibly swift hunters living in forests. They use their bladed leaves to strike down prey and battle foes. They also care deeply about the plants and trees in the forests they inhabit, and raise them with loving care. Being reptile, they are cold-blooded, and must regulate their body temperature by basking in the sunlight.Not only are Sceptile protective and nurturing Pokémon, but also fierce and strong ones as well, making them popular starters for trainers in the Hoenn region.
===Natural abilities===
They are also extremely agile and swift. Seeing as they have leaves as sharp as swords growing from its body, Sceptile can learn powerful slashing moves.
The seeds on their backs are full of energy which provides trees with revitalizing nutrients.
==Evolution==
Sceptile is the final evolution of Treecko, by having Grovyle up to level 36. Sceptile can Mega Evolve into Mega Sceptile using its Mega Stone, Sceptilite.

===Origin===
Sceptile resembles a cross between a tree gecko and a Dilophosaurus with elements of ninjas. Its tail resembles a fern or birch tree. It could also be a literal interpretation of the leaf-tailed gecko.
Mega Sceptile's tail resembles a fur tree as well as a rocket or missile, as it is able to detach and shoot its tail like one. Its ability to launch its tail derives from autotomy, a defensive mechanism used by several lizards' species that involves detaching and regenerating its their tail.
===Etymology===
Its name is derived from "scepter", the staff of a king, and "reptile"; hence, it is known as the "King of the Forest". It may also come from "deceptive," as it's based on a ninja. It could also derive from “Scepteidium”, a genus of ferns.
Jukain may be a portmanteau of 樹海 (jukai, dense forest) and "pine" (a type of tree, which its tail resembles in its Mega form).
