rate our sceptile
 
Sceptile:
Leaf Blade
Earthquake
Slash
Focus Punch

nikhil200 May 29th, 2006 8:20 AM

ok i will rate for Sceptile

Pax Deorum May 29th, 2006 8:24 AM

Ingame go Leaf Blade/Crunch/Dragon Claw/Substitute or Thunder Punch. Subseed Sceptile is stupid ingame because you can just do an all out sweep.

Lord Mike May 29th, 2006 11:12 AM

Pax Deorum suggested a good in-game moveset. Sceptile's attack is average, and Earthquake is good for Fire and Steel-types. I'd get rid of Focus Punch for Dragon Claw since you'd have to breed to get Crunch on Treeko. Its not worth restarting your Pokemon for one move, especially in-game, because you just want to all out sweep in-game.

pikachu and tyranitar May 30th, 2006 2:42 AM

thanks for the help! we'll both use that!

i definetly agree with rubberbandman

Lord Mike June 14th, 2006 2:36 PM

I don't even think Sceptile can learn Slash. :\

White Lotus June 14th, 2006 7:42 PM

Rate your sceptile 3 of 10. My Sceptile ...

Sceptile - (TIMID) 'Overgrow' w/lefties
EV's - focus on speed and satt
- Leaf Blade
- Leech Seed
- Toxic
- Substitute

Stall, stall, stall, stall, and when your done with all that stalling stall some more.

If stalling ain't your thing try (substitute / endeavor / quick attack / leaf blade). Sub down your hp - endeavor - quick attack. Never used it, just spit balling.

Lord Mike June 15th, 2006 3:49 AM

Lol. Stall Sceptile really stinks. Dragon Claw or Thunderpunch over Toxic in my opinion.

shanecdavis June 15th, 2006 6:54 AM

You have got to be kidding me! Sceptile is one of the best stallers in the game. First you Sub, and then between Lefties and Leech Seed, your concurrent Subs are practically free. NB Sceptile usually has HP [Ice] for obvious reasons, while in-game Sceptile is stuck with Toxic, Earthquake, Crunch, or Thunderpunch.

Lord Mike June 15th, 2006 7:06 AM

Its Defenses stink. I'm suprised you haven't realized that by now. :\

It's Just Fufu June 15th, 2006 7:19 AM

[email protected]
Timid
252 SAtk, 216 Speed, 40 HP
Thunderpunch
Leaf Blade
Substitute
Leech Seed

k.webb June 15th, 2006 8:00 AM

That is what Sub/Leech Seed/Leftovers are for. Have you even tried using the set????

Yes, I have. You want to know what Salamence does to it? I never said Subseed was bad. Just don't use Toxic on Sceptile. Give Sceptile EVs in Special Attack and Speed with a Timid Nature so you can beat most Pokemon and also hit hard with a STAB Leaf Blade.

shanecdavis June 15th, 2006 10:19 AM

That is what HP [Ice] is for. If your Sceptile cannot outrun Salamence, you need a new Sceptile.

White Lotus June 15th, 2006 10:54 AM

Sceptile:
Leaf Blade
Earthquake
Slash
Focus Punch

With only attack moves i figured it was in game - and if you wanna try and get <hp ice> in game good luck. After 50 hatches you might get it but it could be power 47 for all you know. You gotta better chance of impregnating your front lawn but i don't suggest it cause the grass stains are really hard to get out. <wink wink> I once hatched 67 shroomies to get <hp ghost> for my eventual breloom (focus punch / hp ghost / leech seed / spore) and when i finally got it it wasn't very powerful. On a side note why not make shadow punch an egg move for shroomish/breloom, it gets most of the other punches mehh.

shanecdavis June 15th, 2006 11:57 AM

If you read my previous post, HP [Ice] is for NB only, as is the whole SubSeed concept. You can still SubSeed in-game, but it doesn't have the same effect, unfortunately.

Lord Mike June 15th, 2006 12:03 PM

Well, it seems that this guy probably doesn't play NetBattle by the looks of it. :\

White Lotus June 15th, 2006 12:20 PM

Who pooped in your cheerios today yomama. I'm just explaining why i use toxic instead of <hp ice>. For net battle <hp ice> is the standard. Please what a loser i am, i don't play net battle, quick someone take me behind the wood shed and shoot me now.:knockedou

What the heck? "Pooped in your cheerioes"? Lol. That's weirdest thing I ever heard. :\

Toxic isn't even good in-game. You'd want to all out sweep in-game.

Stall is the point most competitive Sceptile.

I'm hear all week folks don't forget to tip your waitresses. ;) for you yomama

I just get bored of all out attack but i'd use dragonclaw inplace of toxic for it's nuetral hit anything ability. I just like toxic but whatever floats your boat. <Put down the pitchforks and torches villagers> I'd always use sub-seed though.
