Treecko is one of the three starter Pokémon from the third generation Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald Versions'.
Information
Treecko is a lizard-like Pokémon that is known for being calm, cool and collective. It never panics and will glare back at a larger foe without conceding any ground. They have small hooks on the bottom of their feet for use in scaling walls and ceilings, as well as allowing it to hang from ceilings. It attacks by slamming foes with its thick tail. Its tail can also sense humidity in the air, which Treecko uses to predict the next day's weather.
They make their nests in giant trees in the forest and ferociously guards against anything invading their territory. Treecko are sometimes described as guardians of the forest. It evolves into Grovyle at Level 16.
