Grovyle (Japanese: ジュプトル Juptile) is a Template:Type2 Pokémon.
It evolves from Treecko starting at level 16 and evolves into Sceptile starting at level 36.
Biology
Physiology
Grovyle has a more dinosaur-like appearance than its previous form, Treecko. Unlike its relatives, Grovyle's hands have two claws and its feet are more bird-like and its two tails now have a leafy appearance. Grovyle has three long leaves on its wrists and a large leaf on top of its head. Grovyle's underside is red, with a belt-like green stripe on its belly.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Grovyle has the same abilities as Treecko, but it can now be able to use the rarely known Leaf Blade attack. Grovyle is an expert tree-climber and is practically unmatched at a chase through the trees.
Behavior
Grovyle closes in on its prey as it leaps from branch to branch.
Habitat
Grovyle is a forest-dwelling Pokémon, but it is very rarely seen in the wild. One is most likely able to find them in Hoenn.
Diet
- Main article: Pokémon food
Grovyle is presumably a carnivore, closing in on its prey as it leaps from branch to branch.
In the anime
Major appearances
Ash Ketchum has a Sceptile that he caught as a Treecko in Tree's a Crowd. It evolved into Grovyle in Exploud and Clear, and in Odd Pokémon Out, it reached its final form.
Grovyle also appeared in the anime adaption of Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness. Despite having a large role in the games, he only appeared briefly in the beginning of the episode, stealing one of the Time Gears. He has a much bigger role in the Explorers of Sky special.
Other
Grovyle first appeared in What You Seed is What You Get. It was owned by a Pokémon Trainer named Natasha that works at a watermelon field.
Minor appearances
A Grovyle was used by one of the participants of Pokémon Ping Pong Tournament in To Thine Own Pokémon Be True!.

Pokémon Adventures
- 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 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 and drive the nosy press away. It ended up being stolen by its legitimate owner, Emerald, and became a fixed member of his team.
