>>50359743Sceptile is my favorite pokemon of all time and yes, you are pretty much right. Sceptile has so much shit working against it it's unreal for a starter pokemon
>Not having a double type is a really bad thing for an offensive pokemon>Higher SpA but his movepool is pretty much all physical, even its signature move is physical.>Grass is is tied with bug for being the worst offensive type>Shit hidden ability: boost an already great speed instead of its mediocre offensOne could argue that those are symptoms of being an early mon since gamefreak didn't know what made a mon strong yet but no, he got a mega evolution in ORAS and somehow, the mega evolution suffers from all of regular sceptile issues. I would be tempted to call sceptile the worst starter in term of battle prowess but then I remember that Meganium exist.
