My Sceptile Dilemma

Unless you got a 100% one AND you're swimming in charge TMs AND you love Sceptile, he is not worth charge TMs. They nest, so spend some time on a clear day and you can get some nice weather boosted ones. I collected over 1,200 candies during the event when the gen 3 starters were everywhere and evolved all the ones above level 30 with at least 80% IV and only got Leaf Blade on 2 or 3 of them.

There is no use for Aerial Ace on Sceptile. He's less durable than Exeggutor and has a lower attack stat than him also. Aerial Ace isn't good anyway and it's only good on Rayquaza thanks to his 284 attack stat. Leaf Blade is literally Sceptile's only saving grace, so without it, he's a prime candidate for the professor's candy grinder.

I have three Sceptiles 2379 to 2302...I switched them all to LB. I was excited about new things to catch, here treeckos and seedots were more common than pidgeys/rats ever were...justified the CTMs bc a good Kyogre counter...didn’t use them that much bc so many electrics and grasses. Not really necessary IMO, but you can still make it better at some future point

You could use him in a Celebi raid or as a gym defender against Machamp

I found a 100 percent lvl 34 with FC/EQ and wasted 3 CTMs getting Leaf Blade. I don't regret it one bit because I've used him against Kyogre, Groudon, Azumarill, Piloswine, and Dewgong and he does great. He's also fun to use to take out weakened gyms because of how fast he can fire off Leaf Blade

Stop getting lazy and charge tm it. It's about as easy to tm as salamence. I've evolved 4 sceptiles, 3 got leaf blade.

Sceptile at this level deserves to learn Leaf Blade, aside from that I guess you already have grass counters like Scizor or flareon.

I have a 98% maxed Sceptile 15/15/14, with FC/LB. Love it for sweeping gym trash. I doubt there is anything faster.
