    Erbaiuto

    Quando al pokčmon rimane 1/3 o meno dei suoi PS massimi, la potenza delle sue mosse di tipo Erba aumenta del 50%

    Agiltecnica
    Mondo Dei Sogni

    Quando il Pokčmon consuma o perde lo strumento che tiene, la sua Velocitŕ raddoppia. Questo effetto si attiva anche quando viene consumata una Bacca o il Pokčmon perde lo strumento attraverso Privazione, Furto o Supplica.
    Non conta come un Aumento di statistiche, quindi non puň essere passato a un'altro Pokčmon tramite Staffetta e l'effetto svanisce una volta che il Pokčmon viene sostituito.

    This is Sceptile's most powerful attacking set, which takes full advantage of both its special attacking prowess and large offensive movepool. Leaf Storm is Sceptile's most powerful STAB attack, and powerful it is indeed—for reference, it does 44% minimum to Choice Scarf Hydreigon. However, there are a grand total of seven types resistant to Grass, so you will need plenty of coverage options in your other moveslots. For your first coverage move, you will want a way to stop Steel-types. Focus Blast is the strongest option here, easily OHKOing Magnezone, Hydreigon, and Heatran with Stealth Rock, as well as getting the 2HKO on Ferrothorn. However, it is very unreliable due to its 70% accuracy. On the other hand, Earthquake is a reliable attack that deals good damage, especially to Heatran, and also helps against Fire- and Poison-types. However, it runs into difficulties especially against those carrying Air Balloon as their item, and the lower power can be fatal at times. It also leaves you much more vulnerable to Ferrothorn, Scizor, and Skarmory.

    If you choose to use Focus Blast, an option to get rid of the Flying-types that resist Grass-, Fighting-, and Ground-type attacks is recommended in the third moveslot. Sceptile's best option here is Hidden Power Ice, which is particularly helpful as it lets Sceptile outspeed and OHKO both Thundurus and Tornadus with Stealth Rock. This makes it a useful revenge killer should the situation arise. It is also useful if you want to hit Dragonite and Salamence harder. However, particularly if you have chosen Earthquake, Hidden Power Fire is also worth consideration, if only for the necessity of reliably beating Ferrothorn, Scizor, and Skarmory. The last slot is more up to personal preference than anything else, as Sceptile has a multitude of potential targets. Dragon Pulse is more or less necessary if you are using Hidden Power Fire, in order to defeat Dragon-types. Even if you are using Hidden Power Ice, you can still use Dragon Pulse for Hydreigon, Latias, and Latios. However, in this situation you may want to look at some alternatives. Rather than running one or the other of Focus Blast and Earthquake, you can elect to run both and drop Dragon Pulse, solving quite a few coverage issues. Rock Slide is also an option, preventing Quiver Dance Volcarona from using Sceptile as set-up fodder, and also hitting other Bug-, Fire-, and Flying-types super effectively.

    With the removal of Shaymin-S from OU, Sceptile returns to the 5th generation still holding its crown as the fastest natural user of Substitute + Leech Seed in the game, despite the best attempts of Whimsicott, and to a lesser extent Cottonee, to ruin everything. Unlike the cotton balls, Sceptile actually has some kind of offensive prowess to go along with it, which allows it to muscle through most conventional responses to this strategy.

    Substitute and Leech Seed make up the core combination on this set, where the idea behind the strategy is to first set up Leech Seed on an unsuspecting enemy, and then to create a never-ending chain of Substitutes to stall out the opponent, with healing provided by Leftovers and Leech Seed to negate the HP loss. For your STAB move, Giga Drain is generally the best choice as it boasts both reliable power and the potential to get back HP lost from Substitute. The coverage move is important to deal with those who are immune to Leech Seed. Hidden Power Fire can easily 2HKO the standard Ferrothorn while having a chance to OHKO Scizor and non-bulky Breloom as well after Stealth Rock.


    Altre Opzioni


    Sceptile has a pretty impressive physical movepool, most importantly containing Leaf Blade, Earthquake, Rock Slide, X-Scissor, Crunch, Dragon Claw, Bullet Seed, Acrobatics, Brick Break, Drain Punch, ThunderPunch, Low Kick, Pursuit, and Quick Attack, and it also has Swords Dance to set up. However, its low base 85 Attack stat means that it can rarely do enough damage to be considered viable. Most special options have already been discussed in the Life Orb set. Sceptile also gets Endeavor, so it can abuse a strategy with Focus Sash and Quick Attack to take down at least one Pokemon. Sceptile has about a million gimmick sets it could potentially run, with various items or moves, but for the most part these are inferior to the sets given, and as they rely almost solely on surprise factor, listing them here would remove their effectiveness. Don't be afraid to experiment, though.

    Checks & Counters


    Special walls, such as Blissey, Chansey, and specially defensive Porygon2 can easily take a Leaf Storm and recover off the damage. All three can also use Thunder Wave to make Sceptile useless while Porygon2 can attack back with Ice Beam. Bronzong and Skarmory can take just about any attack should Sceptile lack Hidden Power Fire, and Skarmory can OHKO back with Brave Bird, while Bronzong can do whatever the hell it likes. To a lesser extent, Ferrothorn and Scizor also fall under this label, though neither enjoy taking a Focus Blast.

    Defensive Flying-types such as Dragonite and Zapdos can take on and defeat Sceptile as well, although if they don't invest in their defensive stats, Hidden Power Ice will sting. Dragonite's Multiscale ability does allow it to take Hidden Power Ice with relative ease, though. As far as Poison-types go, Roserade can easily take a Leaf Storm but dislikes either Hidden Power, while most other specially defensive Poison-types also do relatively well. As far as Grass-types go, Celebi has impressive defensive stats and can wall Sceptile reasonably well. Lastly, for Fire-types, both Heatran and Volcarona have 4x resistances to Grass and, although Heatran is weak to Earthquake and Volcarona to Rock Slide, both can OHKO with their STAB Fire-type moves.

    Dream World


    Sceptile gets the impressive ability Unburden from the Dream World, which would be a blessing for almost any other Pokemon, but is a bit wasted on Sceptile. Essentially, the way it works is that, when Sceptile loses an item, its Speed doubles, so if Sceptile were to consume a Petaya Berry, Focus Sash, or Grass Jewel, it would become faster than just about anything. Unfortunately, Sceptile's already immense Speed stat means that Unburden is more often than not a waste of time. Even when running a pinch Berry set (which are illegal in OU since these Berries are unobtainable in the 5th generation), Overgrow is usually the better option thanks to the boost to Sceptile's STAB attacks.
