Kecleon (Japanese: カクレオン Kakureon) is a Normal-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III.
It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.
Kecleon, along with Wailmer and Azurill, was one of the first Generation III Pokémon revealed, in early March 2001.
Biology
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. Its color also changes based on its mood and health, darkening in color with better health. By using camouflage to appear almost invisible, it can sneak up on prey and ensnare it with its long pink tongue. If unnoticed for too long though, it pouts and may never reveal itself. 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 tropical and temperate forests.

Trivia
- Kecleon is the hardest Pokémon to recruit in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team, with a base recruit rate of -33.9%. It can only be recruited if the player is level 90 or higher, and if they are holding a Friend Bow. Even after all this, Kecleon's recruit rate is only 0.1%. Requirements changed in Explorers of Time, Explorers of Darkness, and Explorers of Sky; the player must instead be at level 99, while holding a Golden Mask with the "Fast Friend" IQ skill; these requirements come in conjunction with its base recruit rate decreasing to -49.5%.
- The internal files for Pokémon Colosseum lists Kecleon as being meant to be a Shadow Pokémon multiple times.
Origin
Kecleon is based on a chameleon, most likely the veiled chameleon.
Name origin
Kecleon and Kakureon may be a combination of 隠れる kakureru (to hide) and chameleon.
