Sceptile Moveset
 
I'm looking for a decent Sceptile moveset. I was thinking of including Leaf Blade, and Crunch but obviously Sceptiles Sp.Attack it greater than it's Attack, so I'm not so sure. If anyone has any suggestions for a moveset/ev spread, then that would be great. =]

Sceptile @ Leftovers
Ability: Overgrow
EVs: 92 HP / 252 Spd / 164 SAtk
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Leech Seed
- Substitute
- Hidden Power (Ice) / Dragon Pulse
- Leaf Storm
Ye olde SubSeeding Sceptile

Then we have

Sceptile @ Choice Specs / Life Orb
Ability: Overgrow
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Spd / 252 SAtk
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Dragon Pulse
- Leaf Storm
- Hidden Power (Fire)
- Quick Attack
SpecTile. Don't ask about Quick Attack, no better fillers.

Oh, and Sceptile can be used Physically too
Sceptile @ Choice Band / Life Orb
Ability: Overgrow
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Leaf Blade
- Earthquake
- Dragon Claw
- Crunch / X-Scissor
It is possible to run Swords Dance on it, but I don't trust its defenses to pull a risky like that.

sceptile has focus blast as a special option in accordance to iceman's post, and thunderpunch as a physical option.

it can pull off swords dance with the use of substitute. it'll just be harder to a find just 2 moves that have good coverage, in which one is Leaf Blade (leaf blade + thunderpunch is about the best it can get).

I thought about using Thunderpunch, but is there any easier way to get it other than obtaining 48BP in Emerald and using the move tutor?

I know, I like using this combo too much, but its better than Choice Specs IMO because it lets you attack with many different moves, not the same one over and over again.

Sceptile @ Petaya Berry
Trait: Overgrow
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
-Energy Ball
-Dragon Pulse
-Substitute
-Hidden Power [Fire]

At low high HP, Energy Ball's power is increased by x2.25 (Overgrow and Petaya activate). Everthing else is x1.5.
