It evolved into Sceptile in ''[[AG161|Odd Pokémon Out]]'' when its love, [[Nurse Joy]]'s {{p|Meganium}}, was attacked by [[Team Rocket]]. Until ''[[AG163|Cutting The Ties That Bind]]'', Sceptile lost his ability to use attacks due to a broken heart. He regained his ability to use attacks in the above-mentioned episode to save Ash from Team Rocket, with the use of Leaf Blade. It then used Quick Attack to save him and Bullet Seed to soften the fall. It was used in Ash's battle against [[Palace Maven Spenser|Spenser]] in the following episode, ''[[AG164|Ka Boom With A View]]'', where it won Ash the [[Symbol|Spirit Symbol]] after learning a new move, {{m|SolarBeam}}.

Sceptile has since become one of Ash's most powerful Pokémon, even strong enough to hold its own in battle against certain [[legendary Pokémon]]. It is exceptionally fast and a good jumper. Sceptile also has a habit of keeping a twig in his mouth. He is also a bit of a loner, and can often be seen sitting alone on the branch of a tree, resting or looking at the sky. Both of these habits were carried over from when Sceptile was a Treecko. Despite this, Sceptile is a competitive battler, almost never turning down a fight. Sceptile was one of the five Pokémon that Ash took with him on his journey to the {{ho|Battle Frontier}}.
