NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER use hyper beam. EVER. It is the worst move ever created. End. That isn't a good sceptile. Level is irrelevant. Post EVs, nature, and planned moveset, and that certainly isn't a good one. try the subseeding set.

Spam much?

Although, they're right. Never have more than one move of the same type as another on a Pokemon with exceptions such as Will-o-wisp, Fire Spin, Whirlpool, Thunder Wave, etc. This is also in the wrong board~

Now, for the Sceptile:

I give a 2/10, sorry kid. The 2 is for Giga Drain, at least.

Anywho, try this moveset:

~ Thunderpunch (Emerald Version; Move Tutor)
~ Giga Drain (TM 19, you already have it though...)
~ Dragon Claw (TM 02)
~ Fury Cutter (Heart Scale/Emerald Move Tutor)

- HP Fire

Fury Cutter is a filler, considering that I seriously think that he doesn't intend to breed for the Egg Moves and such, considering that he wants his Sceptile rated rather than completely redone, then at least give him a moveset that he can get via move tutors or TM, kthnx.

Now, Fury Cutter isn't bad, and although Sceptile doesn't exactly have Bastiodon's Defenses, it could pull it off given the right circumstances. However, now that I've skimmed through Serebii's page Aerial Ace could be better for coverage of other Grass-types.

Leaf blade>Giga drain. giga drain is pretty weak and has horrid PP. Crunch is a nice move for sceptile, since gengar is a scary little monster.

I already rated it. It was terrible. We have to help make it better lol...he didn't specify the gen...

Considering this is in the Advanced Gen board, I'd go ahead and consider this as 3rd gen :-l

Again, Crunch is an Egg Move last I checked, so I'd consider that inaccessible for now, Giga Drain makes up for HP lost from possible Leech Seed, if that's the case then Leaf Blade it is.

Harsh,but you only need one grass move because what if you were battling a Fire Pokemon and you only had grass moves when you could have pwned it with Earthquake? not trying to be mean

Oh yea! I think the best Sceptile I've ever seen! *laughs*

Spoiler:
ITS HORRIBLE


Hyperbeam is horrible - 3 grass moves is a joke - solarbeam is sucky - and level 50? WTF?

I WILL EAT YOU if you don't change this Sceptile to something half as decent.

Nonononononononnononononnonononononnonononononnononononononnonononnonononnononnononnononononnono. Sceptile is either a subseeder (I posted the set earlier) or a special sweeper in 3rd gen:

Sceptile (F) @ Leftovers ** Scepy Wepy
Overgrow
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Leaf Blade
- Thunderpunch
- Hidden Power [Fire / Ice]
- Crunch / Dragon claw

you are wasting your earthquake TM giving it to Scaeptile.

Dig is a horrible move. No Aerial Ace either. the SD set only works in gen 4, so no physical attacks. they won't even touch blissey, so no.

EDIT: Penguin, I already posted the subseeder set lol

Penguinpal, try to be a bit more respectful, will you? You're not too far away from a warning now. <.< And both Penguinpal and Anti-Pop Culture Warrior, keep the huge letters, spoilers and a repeated "No"s and "Ever"s to a minimum, please, it just looks extremely messy and makes both of you look like trolls. Not only that, but it's spammy as well. Seriously, I didn't expect a simple topic like this could get so out of hand; I'll expect to see you two on your best behavior in the future, otherwise you might find yourselves with a warning.

Yeah i mean this kid is only 13 years old and i doubt he even has a understanding on what EVs and terms like subseeder and special sweeper are.
Try be a little more understanding with him ^^
Is he even talking about using him in multiplayer battles?

Well, duh. He wouldn't post if he was. And age has got nothing to do with it. There are much younger knowlegeble players. Still, there is no point in being so rough on him, you are right in that.

Okay...I'll cut down on the "no"s...but can I PLEASE use them every now and again? lol

Anyways, a subseeder is a pokemon that uses substitute and leech seed to annoy the foe. Secptile is one of the most common subseeders with its tremendous speed, as is jumpluff. Roar and whirlwing can break through subs though, which can help get rid of them...but they are extremely annoying to fight if you aren't prepared.

EVs...any good trainer EV trains their pokemon. There are several guides online, including one in a sticky of this forum, so I suggest you look.

Sweepers don't necessarily end battles fast, they are pokemon with high speed and either high special attack (special sweepers), high attack (physical sweepers), or both (mixed sweepers). They are the pokemon that use direct damge moves to harm your foe, but walls often stop them...suck as blissey, who walls special attacks.

Back to subseeders, I'd use the subseeding set for Scepy...it has worked the best, probably why it is standard.

Judging by the fact that his pokes are lvl 50 and in emerald, I think thats a battle frontier team.
