Kecleon (Japanese: カクレオン Kakureon) is a Normal-type Pokémon.

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Biology

An invisible Kecleon

Kecleon is a bipedal, reptilian Pokémon that is usually green. On either sides of its head are yellow frills, which are connected by lines to its yellow lips and rings around its eyes. There are small ridges on its shoulders and a red zigzag stripe around its midsection. The hands and feet have three short digits each, and it has yellow soles. It also has a long skinny tail that is usually curled tightly in a spiral.

Kecleon is able to change the colors of its body at will, and is known for frequently using this ability to camouflage itself. However, it is unable to change the color of its red stripe. By using camouflage to appear almost invisible, it can sneak up on prey and ensnare it with its long pink tongue. A purplish variant has been seen in the anime and the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series; whether this is an example of it changing color or simply a different kind of Kecleon is unknown. This Pokémon lives in forests.

Major appearances

Kecleon first appeared in The Kecleon Caper and was the first Generation III Pokémon to appear in the anime under the ownership of Madison and Alexa. A pair of them tried to foil Team Rocket's attempt to steal their owners' stuff.

A Kecleon was one of the Pokémon that played hide-and-seek with Pikachu and the others in Pikachu's PikaBoo. However, said Kecleon missed out on the excitement when a lawn-mower was on the loose. The end of the short finds Kecleon standing in the same spot, wondering where everyone is. It was not found because it was invisible. Due to nobody ever finding Kecleon it was declared the winner.

A Kecleon appeared in Big Meowth, Little Dreams. It was stealing food to take to Azumarill's sick niece.

Harrison used a Kecleon against Ash's Pikachu in the Silver Conference in Playing with Fire and Johto Photo Finish. It finally lost to Pikachu after an intense battle.

Two Kecleon—one green, one purple—known as the Kecleon Brothers, appeared in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate! Unfortunately, Team Meanies bought out everything they had. They made another appearance in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time & Darkness.

Angela used a Kecleon to train her team of ninjas in From Cradle to Save.

Game data

NPC appearances

  • Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire: Kecleon has the first Bonus Field on the Ruby Field. It will turn invisible, though a Devon Scope can be knocked out of the tree to make it visible for a short time. Kecleon must be knocked over and then hit with the ball ten times in two minutes to win the round.
  • Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (series): In Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team, Two Kecleon run the shop at Pokémon Square. Other Kecleon will randomly have shops within dungeons. They are normally courteous but shoplifting will result in multiple wild Kecleon appearing to attack the player. While these Kecleon are at an extremely high level and hard to recruit, this is the only way to obtain Kecleon in the game. They also appeared in Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness and Explorers of Sky doing exactly the same things. In Gates to Infinity, Kecleon appears as the shopkeeper once more though the purple Kecleon from the previous games is absent. Kecleon can also not be recruited but will attack the player in the same way as the other games if they shoplift. In Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon, Kecleon appears yet again as the Shopkeeper, however like Gates to Infinity, the purple Kecleon is absent.
