Attacks

Cling20
After your attack, remove from Sceptile the number of damage counters equal to the damage you did to the Defending Pokémon. If Sceptile has fewer damage counters than that, remove all of them.
Leaf Blade40+
Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 40 damage plus 30 more damage.

Artwork Description

The artwork on this card depicts Sceptile perched solemnly among golden autumn leaves, its sharp eyes focused intently, blending seamlessly with the forest’s warm, glowing ambiance as falling leaves swirl gently around it.

Playability Overview

Sceptile's self-healing Cling makes it durable, but its average damage output and reliance on a coin flip for Leaf Blade limit its competitive viability in faster-paced decks.

Binder Inspiration

Main Binder Theme: Autumn WoodsThis Sceptile fits perfectly on a fall-themed page with its warm, leafy backdrop. Use it as a page anchor alongside other forest or grass types, especially those with earthy or autumn shades. It creates a cozy, natural flow that's easy on the eyes.Additional Binder Suggestions: Forest / Calm / Earthy Green / Woodland Walk / Seasonal Change
