Abilities
MetaMons competitive notes
Sceptile is a grass-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Speed — at 530 BST it is a strong total for competitive play, with top speed tier (base 120) and a special attacking profile. Its Overgrow ability matters more than the raw numbers when it hits the field: check what it does before deciding between a sweeper, pivot, or support role for Sceptile. Build around what Sceptile actually threatens, not its in-game lore — start from its weaknesses and strongest STAB moves, then decide whether its Speed, bulk, or coverage justifies a team slot.
