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. Grovyle's hands have two claws, 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

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.

Ash had a Grovyle that he caught as a Treecko in Tree's a Crowd. It evolved into Grovyle in Exploud and Clear. It evolved once more into Sceptile in Odd Pokémon Out.

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 the Sky special.

A Grovyle was used by one of the participants of Pokémon Ping Pong Tournament in To Thine Own Pokémon Be True!.

Trivia

• Grovyle's evolutionary line is one of two Grass-type lines that are not in the Plant Egg Group. The other is the Lileep line.
• Grovyle's evolutionary line is the only Grass-type starter family that cannot have Razor Leaf. It can, however, learn Leaf Blade.

Origin

Appearance-wise, it resembles the dinosaur known as the Dromaeosaurus. It is believed that the dinosaur had feathers much like how Grovyle has leaves on its body. Its design could be based on a Protarchaeopteryx.

Name origin

Grovyle's name is a combination of the words grove, meaning a group of trees, and "reptile". Of course, -vyle could also possibly refer to vile.

Juptile is based on jungle or 樹 ju, tree, and reptile or raptor.

In other languages

• German: Reptain - From Reptil (reptile) and Hain (grove).
• French: Massko
• Korean: 나무돌이 Namudori - Combination of 나무 namu (tree) and 돌이 dori, a suffix commonly used on animal's names.
