In ''[[XY119|A Full-Strength Battle Surprise!]]'', it was used to battle Greninja once again. Although they were even at first, Sceptile gained the upper hand and eventually won as Ash and Greninja repeatedly attempted and failed to access their Ash-Greninja form, allowing Sceptile to hit Greninja with Leaf Storm before settling the battle with a decisive Leaf Blade.

In ''[[XY126|Valuable Experience for All!]]'', Sceptile is sent out as Sawyer's final Pokémon to battle against {{an|Tierno}}'s {{TP|Tierno|Blastoise}} in the quarterfinals of the [[Lumiose Conference]], and was revealed to have been equipped with a {{DL|Mega Stone|Sceptilite}}. Blastoise started with an {{m|Ice Beam}}, which Sceptile intercepted with a {{m|Leaf Storm}}. Blastoise then tried to execute a {{m|Hydro Cannon}}, but Sceptile dodged it and landed a Leaf Blade in return. Blastoise charged towards Sceptile with {{m|Skull Bash}}, but Sawyer commanded Sceptile to intercept it with {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, tossing Blastoise into the sky. As it falls, Blastoise managed to summon thunderclouds with {{m|Rain Dance}}, and upon impacting the ground, it is knocked out.

Tierno then summoned his last Pokémon, {{p|Raichu}}, and ordered a {{m|Thunder}}. Clemont realized that Blastoise's parting Rain Dance will ensure that Raichu's {{type|Electric}} attacks don't miss. Before Raichu could release his Thunder, however, Sawyer revealed his secret weapon and used his [[Key Stone]] to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] Sceptile. Raichu completed his attack, and Sceptile comes through it completely unscathed. Sawyer revealed that, as a result of Mega Evolving, Sceptile's Ability is now {{a|Lightning Rod}}, rendering Thunder useless. Sceptile charged towards Raichu with a {{m|Dragon Claw}}, and Raichu tried to counter with {{m|Focus Blast}}, but Sceptile slashed through the attack and landed the blow on Raichu, knocking him unconscious and winning the battle for Sawyer, making him the fourth and final semifinalist.
Tierno then summoned his last Pokémon, {{p|Raichu}}, and ordered a {{m|Thunder}}, ensuring that, with the support of Rain Dance, the Electric-type move would not miss. Before Raichu could release her Thunder, however, Sawyer used his [[Key Stone]] to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] Sceptile. Raichu completed his attack, and Sceptile comes through it completely unscathed.

In ''[[XY128|A Riveting Rivalry!]]'', Sceptile was the final Pokémon chosen by Sawyer during his [[Full Battle]] against Ash in the semi-finals of the Lumiose Conference. Sceptile initially went up against Pikachu (who had already taken damage during a hard battle against Sawyer's {{p|Aegislash}}) and quickly knocked him out. Sceptile then went up against its rival Greninja again, who had now mastered the Ash-Greninja form. Greninja started the battle with a {{m|Water Shuriken}}, which Sceptile destroyed with its Dragon Claw. Greninja then summoned clones with its {{m|Double Team}}, which Sceptile wiped out by using Frenzy Plant. Greninja emerged unscathed from the attack, and used Cut to clash with Sceptile's Leaf Blade. Both Pokémon then transformed to their respective more powerful forms, Ash-Greninja and Mega Sceptile. Sceptile attacked with another Frenzy Plant, which Greninja slashed through using Cut, and then launched off its Water Shuriken, which was countered again with Dragon Claw. Both Pokémon then kept exchanging and clashing with their powerful and fierce attacks, with Sceptile getting struck by powerful hits from {{m|Aerial Ace}}, before retaliating with Leaf Storm. After clashing using Cut and Leaf Blade again, Greninja was thrown into the air by Leaf Storm. As Sceptile was about to finish it off with Frenzy Plant, Greninja was able to regain its footing and run on top of the roots. Sceptile tried to corner Greninja with Frenzy Plant, but while using its shared senses with Ash and its full trust in him, Greninja was able to dodge every single Frenzy Plant and slice through them using Cut. As its back-mounted shuriken grew to massive size, Greninja fired off the Water Shuriken while Sceptile countered with Leaf Storm, causing a large explosion. After the smoke cleared, only Greninja remained standing, giving Ash the win and eliminating Sawyer from the tournament.
