LearnsetTrivia
- Kecleon is one of the five Pokémon that can turn into a pure Template:Type2 Pokémon. The others are Arceus while holding the Sky Plate and Porygon, Porygon2, and Porygon-Z by using Conversion 2 after being hit by a Template:Type2 move.
- Kecleon is the hardest Pokémon to recruit in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, 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%.
- Color Change can be used against Kecleon by harming it with a move of one type, then using a move that type is weak to. This works especially well with Template:Type2 and Template:Type2 moves, which weaken their own type, though Ghost-type moves cannot be used as soon as Kecleon appears.
- In its Pokédex entry and in the anime that when Kecleon goes invisible, the red stripe can still be seen, but in its Emerald animation, Kecleon disappears completely. But this is because in Emerald each Pokémon has only two frames and the disappearing animation is merely a sprite effect.
- The "fins" on Kecleon's back are absent in its official Sugimori artwork.
- Kecleon, along with Wailmer and Azurill, was one of the first Generation III Pokémon revealed. It was also the first Generation III Pokémon seen in the anime, in The Kecleon Caper.
- In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series, Kecleon is the first Pokémon to feature an alternate coloration that is not its shiny coloration.
Origin
Kecleon is based on a chameleon.
Name origin
Kecleon's name, a corruption of its Japanese name, may be a combination of 隠れる kakureru, to hide, and chameleon. It might also come from Jeckyll, because Kecleon changes colors like Dr. Jeckyll changed personalities, or 'keck' which means 'to treat scornfully', which may refer to the fact that many players developed a good-sized grudge against Kecleon because they couldn't get into the Fortree City Gym without the Devon Scope.
