    I heard from many people that Sceptile was one of the hardest Pokemon to get good moves for. I experimented a little on this and I found out a good move set. I tried it out against the E4 in Emerald and defeated the whole thing alone with just the Sceptile at level 55.

    Sceptile Nature: Sassy HP-163
    Brick Break Attack-107
    Crunch Defense-124
    Dragon Claw Sp. Attack-149
    Leaf Blade Sp. Defense-113
    Speed-132
    For Sidney: Took down all of them with Brick Break except I took down Sharpedo with Leaf blade.

    For Phobe: Took down all with Crunch.

    For the Ice Girl (forgot her name): Brick Break on the Glaies and Leaf Blade on Sealeos and Walrein.

    For Drake: Took down all with Dragon Claw (Salemence was hard!!!)

    For Champion Wallace:
    Walord: 2 Leaf Blades
    Tentaruel: 3-4 Crunchs
    Whiscash: 1 Leaf Blade
    Ludicolo: The hardest one! It took 7 Brick Breaks because it kept using the Leech Seed-Double Team-Damaging attack combo.
    Milotic: 2 Leaf Blades
    Gyrados: 2 Dragon Claws/1 Leaf Blade

    Its an Egg move. Or at least it must be because when I got an Egg from the Day Care it hatch a Treecko and it knew Pound, Leer, Crunch! Ha ha!

    P.S. I breed a Houndoom and a Sceptile for that.
     
    Wow, odd couple. Thanks for the information btw. I guess I should breed Houndoom and Sceptile then...o.o
     
    I'd never give Brick Break to Sceptile. It is just not a good mixed sweeper.
    The nature lowers speed and why is Charcoal his hold item? 10% doesn't worth to give attack-increasing items to pokemon, especially not if it doesn't increases the attack power of any move from the holder's moveset.

    Btw, the E4 isn't such difficult to beat anyway, so most pokemon with the right moves against their pokemon can beat them alone.

    You could have screen-shot it. :P
     
    Get sceptile HP:water, or EQ for fire types. Take out brick break for one of those.

    One question: Do you go to smogon? =/

    I sure you'll call all of the movesets in there "n00b sets". =\
     
    He's only a "Beginning Trainer" because of the number of posts he has on PC.

    Sceptile is easy to get a good moveset for:

    Sceptile@Petaya Berry
    EVs:252 Sp. attack, 252 Speed, 6 HP
    Nature:Modest/Timid
    Leaf Blade
    Leech Seed
    Substitute
    HP [Ice]/Thunder Punch

    That's a Sceptile!    :D
     
    Mullet's moveset is what u should be aiming for.
    if u want go with an all out Sp.Sweeper..which in even tho its stopped dead in its tracks by bliss,lax and regi-Ice...should work just fine ingame.

    lol a physical sceptile..
    Sceptile[+Sp,-Def]@leftovers/petaya
    EVs - Att,hp,Sp,SpAtt
    focus punch
    leaf blade
    leech seed
    substitute

    it works...but its certainly not ever going to be standard.

    Who cares! I got rid of that Sceptile already! Sceptile itself stinks!

    I much more prefer Swampert

    Ice Beam
    Curse
    Earthquake
    Surf

    Sceptile only stinks if you don't know how to use it. ;)
    Swampert is ok but you can also use:

    Curse
    EQ
    Ice beam/surf/RS
    Rest
    @Lefties/chesto (I suck at held items =\)

    Funny since you're the thread starter. =\

    Anything more I need to say?

    Well, Sceptile isn't really a pokemon that goes in for the kill. It's mainly used a as a leech seeder.:bandit:

    Stall away.....!
     
    Cipher, you would want hydro pump over surf on your swampert

    On the whole I don't like resting on a pokemon that can be taken out by one grass attack when fully set up. Getting (psuedo-) Hazed is also a problem
