There’s no good reason to use Sceptile in gen 8 OU no matter what moveset it has. It’s is outclassed by Kartana and Rillaboom in almost every possible way. Both Kartana and Rillaboom have a better attack stat, better ability, and can learn knock off to remove items and cover grass resists. Rillaboom is a lot slower than Sceptile, but its ability raises grassy glide’s priority and damage.sourcesourcesourceIf you really want to use Sceptile somewhere, then the best place is probably gen 3 OU. It can very rarely work as a fast leech seed user. Sceptile should use special moves because all grass attacks are special in this generation, and it needs ice hidden power to cover several grass resists. Pursuit can be used to check Starmie and Claydol.
