Trying to plan a Sceptile for the Battle Frontier.

EVs:252 Sp. Attack/252 speed/6 Sp. Def

-Leaf Blade
-Crunch
-HP Dragon
-???

I'm reluctant to use Dragon Claw, since it can be more effective on someone like Latios. Which is why I'm happy about HP Dragon (Yes, I tested it. It is HP Dragon).

But still, I'm not sure what I should use for it's final move. Just so you know, I already used Brick Break, and sold Bullet Seed.

Well if u want a plain sweeper use the Thunderpunch as your last move. IMO the SubSeed Version is the best.

Never liked Endeavor on Sceptile :p. I think Endeavor on Sceptile is pertty much a waste of time.

Go with Overheat Hothead nature suggustions.

I agree. HP maximum power is 70. Dragon Claw's power is 80. Think about it. I would go with msterofwearwolves second set with overheat hotheads nature.

I don't know about Substitute, though. If I bred Leech Seed on, I can see a use for Sub, but I didn't. I guess I'll use Fire Punch for that last move (so it can hold it's own against an Ice type pokemon), and replace HP Dragon with Dragon Claw.

Though first, I have to get the TM.

And that Dragon is one of the most pathetic types there is.

But it is neutral on almost anything except Steel (Weak) Dragon (Strong)

Mence and Dragonite rock, so...

Because of there stats, not types. Actually Salamance doesn't actually need his second type.

the only punch sceptile can learn is thunderpunch.

yes. but you don't strive for neutral, you try for super-effective. and that means you don't use things that are only SE on one, rare type. it's the same problems as sludge bomb, except that there are more grass-types than dragon-types and sludge bomb is stronger than dragon claw.

I guess it is a downside. However it can hit every Pokemon, which a lot of types can do, therefore making it a good One-Attack move (*cough*Lati@s*cough*).
