ITT: Pokemons with a huge loyal fanbase >fans keep supporting

Because I stuck by my bro, even as he got fucked over by the Physical/Special split, and strived to make him overcome the odds. Hell, in Gen 3 I solo'd Flannery and Winona, just to show he could, and, in Gen 4 I built him exclusively to counter Infernape, again, just to show he could.

Grass/Dragon typing should've been there from the beginning, but better late than never.

I'm more of a Blaziken fan myself but Sceptile has a nice design and it's fans seem to be pretty chill. I tried using it in an OR run but I didn't enjoy it much. Might be cause I'm not much of a grass fan but I wanted to try Treecko anyway. Or maybe I was just using it wrong. What's a good in-game moveset for it?

Basically, sceptile has such a nice fanbase because GF treats it perfectly. It gets enough exposure to keep it in fans' minds without being oversaturated (unlike charizard), so people don't hate it to be contrarian. It also isn't as obscure of a favorite starter as say meganium because of that exposure, so the hippiest hipsters don't gravitate towards it and love it just because nobody else does. It's a happy medium mon, so it gets fans who are quiet and satisfied.

The big trick to treecko in RSE and the remakes is to pair it with wingull; the two cover each others' weaknesses really well. As far as moves go, pretty much anything works. Dual chop is OK, rock tomb is good until you can get rock slide, focus blast is good if you don't mind missing, acrobatics is fun if you'd rather use a different mega, leaf blade is leaf blade, swords dance sceptile is nice in game, and you can always not evolve treecko until level 21 in ORAS, when it gets giga drain. It's definitely the "hard mode" choice though, so I can see why it wouldn't gel with everyone. It's worse in the originals, where you don't get grass stab stronger than absorb until level 29.
