Great moves for Sceptile in E4!
 
I heard from many people that Sceptile was one of the hardest Pokemon to get good moves for. I experimented a little on this and I found out a good move set. I tried it out against the E4 in Emerald and defeated the whole thing alone with just the Sceptile at level 55.

Sceptile Nature: Sassy HP-163
Brick Break Attack-107
Crunch Defense-124
Dragon Claw Sp. Attack-149
Leaf Blade Sp. Defense-113
Speed-132
For Sidney: Took down all of them with Brick Break except I took down Sharpedo with Leaf blade.

For Phobe: Took down all with Crunch.

For the Ice Girl (forgot her name): Brick Break on the Glaies and Leaf Blade on Sealeos and Walrein.

For Drake: Took down all with Dragon Claw (Salemence was hard!!!)

For Champion Wallace:
Walord: 2 Leaf Blades
Tentaruel: 3-4 Crunchs
Whiscash: 1 Leaf Blade
Ludicolo: The hardest one! It took 7 Brick Breaks because it kept using the Leech Seed-Double Team-Damaging attack combo.
Milotic: 2 Leaf Blades
Gyrados: 2 Dragon Claws/1 Leaf Blade

Where can you get Crunch?

CipherDakim12 July 9th, 2005 6:07 AM

Its an Egg move. Or at least it must be because when I got an Egg from the Day Care it hatch a Treecko and it knew Pound, Leer, Crunch! Ha ha!

P.S. I breed a Houndoom and a Sceptile for that.

ArKiVe July 9th, 2005 6:25 AM

Wow, odd couple. Thanks for the information btw. I guess I should breed Houndoom and Sceptile then...o.o

I'd never give Brick Break to Sceptile. It is just not a good mixed sweeper.
The nature lowers speed and why is Charcoal his hold item? 10% doesn't worth to give attack-increasing items to pokemon, especially not if it doesn't increases the attack power of any move from the holder's moveset.

Btw, the E4 isn't such difficult to beat anyway, so most pokemon with the right moves against their pokemon can beat them alone.

If I would have known that he'll edit his post, I might have taken a screenshot then. ;)

Get sceptile HP:water, or EQ for fire types. Take out brick break for one of those.

CipherDakim12 July 9th, 2005 8:42 AM

Your a beginning trainer!

One question: Do you go to smogon? =/

I sure you'll call all of the movesets in there "n00b sets". =\

Mullet July 9th, 2005 12:32 PM

He's only a "Beginning Trainer" because of the number of posts he has on PC.

Sceptile is easy to get a good moveset for:

[email protected] Berry
EVs:252 Sp. attack, 252 Speed, 6 HP
Nature:Modest/Timid
Leaf Blade
Leech Seed
Substitute
HP [Ice]/Thunder Punch

That's a Sceptile!
:D

That can't be right, they're in totally different egg groups. It must have been from Seviper or Salamence...

CipherDakim12 July 12th, 2005 4:44 PM

Thats how I did it anyway! I thought it was weird also!

:D

Ice demon July 12th, 2005 6:36 PM

Mullet's moveset is what u should be aiming for.
if u want go with an all out Sp.Sweeper..which in even tho its stopped dead in its tracks by bliss,lax and regi-Ice...should work just fine ingame.

lol a physical sceptile..
Sceptile[+Sp,-Def]@leftovers/petaya
EVs - Att,hp,Sp,SpAtt
focus punch
leaf blade
leech seed
substitute

it works...but its certainly not ever going to be standard.

CipherDakim12 July 13th, 2005 5:54 AM

Who cares! I got rid of that Sceptile already! Sceptile itself stinks!

I much more prefer Swampert

Ice Beam
Curse
Earthquake
Surf

Sceptile only stinks if you don't know how to use it. ;)
Swampert is ok but you can also use:

Curse
EQ
Ice beam/surf/RS
Rest
@Lefties/chesto (I suck at held items =\)

Funny since you're the thread starter. =\

CipherDakim12 July 13th, 2005 7:14 AM

Its moves stink and its stats stink!

Anything more I need to say?

Well, Sceptile isn't really a pokemon that goes in for the kill. It's mainly used a as a leech seeder.:bandit:

Stall away.....!

husk1442 July 13th, 2005 11:36 AM

Cipher, you would want hydro pump over surf on your swampert

On the whole I don't like resting on a pokemon that can be taken out by one grass attack when fully set up. Getting (psuedo-) Hazed is also a problem

That's why you can always use surf...

But if it's a grass, you switch. You'll going to have chesto if you use rest on your set. =/

Celebi & Ludicolo is going to own you anyways.

No, he is a beginning trainer because he hasn't changed it yet.
Note how mine says "Elite Commando"?
That's because I wanted it to say that.

[email protected] Lens
Leaf Blade
Crunch
T/Punch
HP Psy

HP Psy is a SC Psn.

Spec sweeper with an attack supereffective to:
R, Gd, Psn, Ft, W, Fly, Psy, Gh.
Two of them (Psn/Fly) are SCs.

Blissey and Snorlax ruins your fun. =(
Leaf Blade+Scope LEns is fun but it's still not really worth it.

If you really want a SPsweeping sceptile, go with

@lefties
LeafBlade
Focus Punch
HP Ice
Thunderpunch

Focus Punch w/out Sub/Follow me/Spore = no hits
If you want a fight move use Brick Break, but I really don't think it is necessary.
