Sceptile has six nodules on its back (like those on leguminous plants able to take in nitrogen from the air) and a palm-tree-branch-like tail. It can leap through trees with ease making it to be the fastest Pokémon in the forest. It can also climb walls. Sceptile is also known as the "King of the Forest" because of its fast leaping skill.
Gender differences

Special abilities
Sceptile's signature move prior to Generation IV is Leaf Blade. It is a move known by wild and captive Sceptile alike, learned by Sceptile and Grovyle by practicing "Forest Combat." Also, being a Pokémon bearing seeds bursting with nutrients, it can perfect moves such as SolarBeam and Synthesis, and it is a Pokémon with dragon-like characteristics, so it can learn Dragon Pulse, Dragon Claw, and DragonBreath.

Origin
Appearance-wise, this Pokémon resembles the dinosaur known as dilophosaurus. The orbs of nutrients on it back may be based off of the fact that many leguminous plants have Nitrogen stored in nodes on their roots.
Name origin
Sceptile's name is likely a play on reptile and Sceptridium, as its tail is similar to a fern in appearance, or possibly sectile, referring to the long, sharp blades growing on its body. It may have also come from scepter, from its title as King of the Forest. Its Japanese name may be based on 樹海 jukai, abundant leafage.
