Treecko has a large, dark green tail with two separate lobes, similar to the tail of a Wartortle. Its stomach and throat are red. Treecko has yellow eyes with long, skinny pupils. It also has a line across on its stomach resembling a pouch.

Special abilities

Treecko is able to scale walls with the aid of tiny spikes located in its hands and feet.
In addition to Treecko's arsenal of Grass-type moves, it is also capable of a few attacks that involve physical combat such as Quick Attack, Double Kick, and Aerial Ace. Treecko is also capable of knowing DragonBreath under certain circumstances.

Behavior

Wild Treecko is very territorial, and will attack anyone that comes near its home. Treecko never panics under any circumstances, even when faced with a bigger foe. It senses humidity with its tail to predict the next day's weather.

Habitat

Forest Pokémon

Treecko lives inside overgrown forests, and is known to be the protectors of the forest's trees. However, Treecko is a bit of a rarity in the wild, and is more common in captivity. One is most likely to find it in Hoenn.

Treecko in the anime

Treecko first appeared in Get the Show on the Road. Professor Birchwas showing May the three Pokémon she had the choice of starting with. She did not choose Treecko because it "creeped her out".
Ash Ketchum has a Sceptile that he caught as a Treecko in Tree's a Crowd. It evolved into Grovyle in Exploud and Clear, and in Odd Pokémon Out, it reached its final form.
In Having a Wailord of a Time, a Nurse Joy was taking care of a Treecko, Torchic and Mudkip that a little girl named Stephanie was going to choose between as her first Pokémon. Stephanie chose Mudkip, and Stephanie's dad decided to become a Pokémon Trainer with the Treecko as his first Pokémon.
