Moveset for Treecko
 
The title basicly says it. I just started a new game on my Emerald version, and I chose a Treecko as my first Pokémon. It's lv.26 right now, and I need help with which moves would go perfectly with it. And no, I'm not planning to evolve it just yet.

I'd appreciate it, if you could help.

Flamman July 11th, 2006 9:27 AM

modest nature
- solarbeam
- sunny day
- agility
- hidden power water/detect if you cant get it.

It has a mild nature. And a defensive move could help out a lot, since it has a low defensive stat but high attack stat.

Flamman July 11th, 2006 9:33 AM

it's special attack is 20 points higher on the base. mild is quite all right, because it is plu special attack, and minus defence, but hey, maybe you could remove solarbeam and sunny day, and fill them up with gigadrain and maybe toxic, for some anoying. personally i dont think treecko is the best, but has the looks:P

Fr0st July 11th, 2006 9:41 AM

Thats a terrible moveset Flamman...

I'm hoping that it is a girl because treecko really needs the moves that it can get bred on such as leech seed. You might even want to reset until you get a female treecko

If its a girl.

Timid/Modest
~Leech Seed
~Substitute
~Leaf Blade
~Thunderpunch (Battle Frontier)

The strategy is to use leech seed and then substitute until ur opponent gets weak enough to kill with Leafblade/Thunderpunch

Mild is an ok nature but modest is better...

Mild nature
~Leaf Blade
~Thunderpunch
~Substitute/Sword Dance
~Focus Punch/Brick Break

Thats a good nature for the above moveset

Persona July 11th, 2006 9:50 AM

Alright, thanks for the help. I'll do that. And yes, it's a female Treecko.

Flamman July 11th, 2006 9:53 AM

dude, he's just started, so i did with his pokemon how it is, with a mild nature, i think not so far in the game, and for your information:

TREECKO CAN'T LEARN LEAF BLADE!!!


breeding is indeed the best thing u can do.

But can't Treecko learn Leaf Blade if it has a higher level, even without evolution?

Flamman July 11th, 2006 9:55 AM

treecko can never learn leaf blade, not even through level up, only grovyle and sceptile can learn leaf blade.

Fr0st July 11th, 2006 10:05 AM

Well I gave him the correct moveset because not evolving a pokemon is stupid unless it's a pokemon that doesnt need it (pikachu)
Treecko can still subseed

I only thought of evolving it to a Grovyle. But is it important if I choose to evolve it to a Sceptile?

An unevolved Treecko is a VERY SAD Treecko. Keep a cute little Treecko in your PC, if you want, but you are doing it a dis-service by not evolving it and opening it up to the best Grass move in the game.

BTW - Like Blaziken, most of Sceptile's best moves cannot be obtained until after the E4 and you have earned enough BP in the BF to afford them. That is why Swampert is easily the best in-game starter, not to mention the greatest starter ever.

Don't worry about that. I evolved it, and let it learn Leaf Blade.

I used to always use Mudkip as my first starter, I just wanted to switch to a different one for a change. But if you say it's the best, I know a way I can add it so I won't have to restart the game.

Sceptile outspeeds practicly everything in-game and its Special Attack is nothing to laught at either. Mild is sort of cool because it doesn't lower Attack and its Attack is about as decent as its Special Attack, so Earthquake and possibly even Quick Attack or Return are options for it.

Sceptile @ Leftovers
Trait: Overgrow
Mild Nature (+SAtk, -Def)
- Dragon Claw / Earthquake / Quick Attack / Return / Thunderpunch / Filler
- Leaf Blade
- Dragon Claw / Earthquake / Quick Attack / Return / Thunderpunch / Filler
- Dragon Claw / Earthquake / Quick Attack / Return / Thunderpunch / Filler

Something like that I guess. Thunderpunch might be hard to get but you should definately have Dragon Claw somewhere in there if you can't get it. Earthquake or Return are great too.

Yeah, I know where to get Dragon Claw. But where can you find Thunder Punch?

Before I start, I want to know if this moveset is good or not.

Sceptile @ Leftovers
Mild Nature

- Leaf Blade
- Dragon Claw
- Thunder Punch/Earthquake
- Swords Dance

^ Is that okay?

I have no clue on how to suggest good movesets for Pokémon, so don't bite me.

Flame Demon July 11th, 2006 12:43 PM

No SD if you won't use EQ.

These are the best movesets... The on you posted doesnt work as swords dance boosts physical attacks not Dragon Claw, Leaf Blade, and Thunderpunch. And Earthquake is a great TM but you'd be waisting it by using it on Sceptile as it's subseed moveset is the best...

Trust me do this as you said your sceptile was a girl

1. Breed your treecko/grovyle with a male shroomish/roselia/cacturne that knows the move leech seed.
2. The resulting offspring will be a level 5 treecko knowing the move leech seed

REMEMBER this only works if your treecko is female

Then level it up to learn leafblade...
Give it substitute from the move tutor in Lilycove...
Give it thunderpunch from the battle frontier

There thats the best moveset... The other one is for if you don't want to breed

lol, Flame Demon. Don’t EVER suggest Return on Pokemon who don’t get Normal STAB, especially a Sceptile who can learn so many better moves. And you’re better off not suggesting Earthquake or Quick Attack either.

Also, hi Ryan!
Listen to Frost please, and go with the first one. Best Sceptile set.

Alright, I'll go with your suggestion, it sounds great too. Thank you.

Never suggest Subseed ingame unless you want to be crap and waste time when you can easily go Special Sweeping with Leaf Blade/Dragon Claw/Crunch or Substitute/Thunderpunch.

Treecko cant breed with shroomish to get leech seed

It can go into a chain like Shroomish(M) (Leech Seed)+Tropuis(F)= Tropius(M) (Leech Seed)

Tropuis(Leech Seed) + Treecko= Treecko (Leech Seed)

or Just Bulbasaur(Leech Seed)+ Treecko

Pax is right though, just straight up sweep is better ingame

Please don't listen to this. Pax is a knowledgable poster but he's gotta real hard on about in game being strictly sweeping.:rambo: I feel like you should always play the pokes to their best sets no matter what. If you were just rushing through the game then he's right but if your playing all the pokes and testing em out sub/seed is the way to go. Dragon claw is a good neutral to almost everything move until you get to the frontier for thunderpunch.

Always use leaf blade.

Pax Deorum July 11th, 2006 3:34 PM

I don't find it very productive to Subseed wild pokemon when you can all-out kill them. Nothing suggests this is for the frontier seeing he isn't even willing to evolve it and even in the frontier a special sweeping set is more useful. Stalling is pretty much pointless anywhere ingame. If you want a sponge, fore example, don't get one that can only stall such as Blissey, get something like Snorlax which can both recieve Special hits and sweep.

I already evolved my Treecko, and now I am willing to evolve it once again. For now, I've only taught it Leaf Blade. For the rest, I'm choosing which suggestion in better, yours, or Fr0st's.

Let’s stop dividing sets from in-game and competitive because as soon as D/P comes out, there’s nothing stopping people from trading Pokemon from their GBA games to D/P and battling on WiFi. Soon, in-game will be competitive and suggesting all sweeping sets for every Pokemon is only going to reinforce bad habits for the noobs.
