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

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Biology

 

An invisible Kecleon

Kecleon is a bipedal, reptilian Pokémon that is usually green. On either sides of its head are yellow frills, which are connected by lines to its yellow lips and rings around its eyes. There are small ridges on its shoulders and a red zigzag stripe around its midsection. The hands and feet have three short digits each, and it has yellow soles. It also has a long skinny tail that is usually curled tightly in a spiral.

Kecleon is able to change the colors of its body at will, and is known for frequently using this ability to camouflage itself. However, it is unable to change the color of its red stripe. By using camouflage to appear almost invisible, it can sneak up on prey and ensnare it with its long pink tongue. A purplish variant has been seen in the anime and the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series; whether this is an example of it changing color or simply a different kind of Kecleon is unknown. This Pokémon lives in forests.

Major appearances

Kecleon first appeared in The Kecleon Caper and was the first Generation III Pokémon to appear in the anime under the ownership of Madison and Alexa. A pair of them tried to foil Team Rocket's attempt to steal their owners' stuff.

A Kecleon was one of the Pokémon that played hide-and-seek with Pikachu and the others in Pikachu's PikaBoo. However, said Kecleon missed out on the excitement when a lawn-mower was on the loose. The end of the short finds Kecleon standing in the same spot, wondering where everyone is. It was not found because it was invisible. Due to nobody ever finding Kecleon it was declared the winner.

A Kecleon appeared in Big Meowth, Little Dreams. It was stealing food to take to Azumarill's sick niece.

Harrison used a Kecleon against Ash's Pikachu in the Silver Conference in Playing with Fire and Johto Photo Finish. It finally lost to Pikachu after an intense battle.

Two Kecleon—one green, one purple—known as the Kecleon Brothers, appeared in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate! Unfortunately, Team Meanies bought out everything they had. They made another appearance in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time & Darkness.

Trivia

• Kecleon is the hardest Pokémon to recruit in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team, with a base recruit rate of -33.9%. It can only be recruited if the player is level 90 or higher, and if they are holding a Friend Bow. Even after all this, Kecleon's recruit rate is only 0.1%. It is considered slightly easier to recruit in the Explorers of Time, Explorers of Darkness, and Explorers of Sky since the player now has a 0.5% chance of recruiting it at level 90, while holding an Amber Tear/Golden Mask with the "Fast Friend" IQ skill, despite its base recruit rate decreasing to -49.5%.
• Kecleon, along with Wailmer and Azurill, were the first Generation III Pokémon revealed, in early March 2001. It was also the first Generation III Pokémon seen in the anime, in The Kecleon Caper.

Origin
