Kecleon (Japanese: カクレオン, Hepburn: Kakureon) (KEH-clee-on) is a Normal-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III.

Biology

Physiology

Kecleon resembles a chameleon. The primary color on a Kecleon is green, the secondary color is yellow and they have a red zigzag stripe that runs all the way around their body. The spikes on its head are yellow like the circles around its eyes. It has a coiled tail and small yellow feet.

Behavior

Their ability to blend in nearly seamlessly into their surroundings is immensely useful to them for both hunting and avoiding predators. They can essentially turn invisible at a moment’s notice, making detection extremely difficult for predators who rely primarily on their senses of sight. When hunting, Kecleon blend into foliage and wait patiently for prey to wander by. Then, they lash out their long, sticky tongues to capture victims. Kecleon also change color based on their moods and health; what hue signifies what emotion can vary between individuals, though darker shade tend to correspond to healthier individuals. Their true colors can be revealed by startling them, as they briefly drop their disguises when they lose focus.

Natural abilities

Kecleon have the ability Color Change. This allows Kecleon to change its type to the same type as the attacks that hit it. Its hidden ability Protean allows it to change its type to the same type as the attack it last used.

Kecleon has the ability to blend in with its surroundings, but the red stripe on its chest remains visible at all times. It can sneak up on its prey and use its long tongue to trap it.

Evolution

Kecleon does not evolve.

Trivia

• Two Kecleon were seen in one of the anime episodes, and were named "Redie" and "Greenie". They were seen in the Johto region and this marked the first appearance of a Generation III Pokémon in the anime.
• Due to Kecleon's ability, Color Change, if it knows the move Synchronoise, if the opponent uses a move that would receive STAB Kecleon would change to that type and then deal damage to the opponent using the previously mentioned move.
• Kecleon appears in PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond, in which he keeps track of the players' records and awards.
• Kecleon is the hardest Pokémon to obtain in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team & Blue Rescue Team. With a recruit rate of -33.9, the player must be at least Level 90 and must be holding the Friend Bow which increases recruit chances. Even after doing all this, Kecleon still has a recruit rate of 0.1. In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky, the player must instead be at least Level 99 and must be holding the Golden Mask. The Amber Tear also does not work on recruiting Kecleon.
  • However, Kecleon has a highly erratic growth rate in these games. It is the weakest Pokémon to use in the Zero Isle dungeons, having all of its stats tied at 1 at Level 1 and requiring 15,020 experience points to reach Level 2. On the other hand, at Level 50 and above, all of its stats, bar HP, are tied at 255. This makes it nearly impossible to deal more than minimal damage to a high-levelled Kecleon, unless the player lowers its defenses or uses attacks that deal direct damage. This can be remedied in Zero Isle East, which allows a limit of up to 16 items, as Kecleon can be made strong by bringing at least 7 Golden Seeds.

Growth rate in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky

Kecleon is extremely weak below Level 30. Its Attack, Defense, Special Attack, and Special Defense stay at 1 from Level 1 to Level 29, and its HP stat equals its level. For the next ten levels, Kecleon gains 25 points per level in every stat, reaching 279 HP at Level 39 and 251 in every non-HP stat. After that, it grows at 1 HP per level, reaching a sky-high 340 HP at Level 100. Its other stats reach 255 at Level 43 but cannot grow any higher, as non-HP stats cannot increase beyond 255 due to those stats being stored internally as an 8-bit integer. (2⁸−1 = 255).

Kecleon also has a very unique levelling rate in these games. By Level 36, it will already have over a million experience points. For comparison, starter Pokémon typically have only about 220,000 experience points at that level. From Level 41 onward, Kecleon always needs exactly 65,000 experience points to go from one level to the next. At Level 100, Kecleon has 5,150,681 experience points, roughly twice the amount needed by starter Pokémon.

Origin

Kecleon is based on a chameleon. The Color Change ability is based on chameleons' ability to change their color for camouflage; scientists believe the real motivation for this behavior is to reflect mood.

Etymology

Kecleon is a combination of the Japanese word kakureru (to hide) and chameleon.
