Grovyle (Japanese: ジュプトル Juptile) is a Grass-type Pokémon.
It evolves from Treecko starting at level 16 and evolves into Sceptile starting at level 36.
Biology
Grovyle is a bipedal Pokémon similar in appearance to a theropod dinosaur. It is primarily green with a red underside. There is a belt-like green stripe across its belly. Grovyle's hands have two clawed fingers, and powerful legs with bird-like feet. Its well-developed muscles make it an expert climber and allow it to leap quickly from branch to branch. Grovyle has three long leaves on its wrists, a large leaf on top of its head, and two tails that have a leafy appearance. This leafy appearance allows it to be camouflaged in the forests where it lives. These leaves are also used in its former signature move, Leaf Blade.
In the anime
Major appearances
Ash caught Treecko in Tree's a Crowd. It evolved into Grovyle in Exploud and Clear, and in Odd Pokémon Out, Grovyle evolved into a Sceptile.

Grovyle in Pokémon Adventures
In the Pokémon Adventures manga
- Main article: Emerald's Sceptile
The Treecko meant to be handed to Emerald was recovered by Wally and became a Grovyle to rescue his temporary owner when a wild Dusclops threatened to suck them into its infinite cavity. After a few more weeks of training at the Sky Pillar under Norman, it was able to awaken the ancient legendary Pokémon Rayquaza, but the huge gust of wind sent it flying miles away into a distant island where it evolved again to a Sceptile and was this time caught by Guile Hideout, who smuggled it into the Battle Factory to try to drive the nosy press away. It ended up being stolen by its legitimate owner, Emerald, and became a fixed member of his team.
Emerald had also used a Grovyle during his Factory challenge.
