Character info
The character
Treecko is a Grass-type Pokémon known as the Wood Gecko Pokémon, first introduced in the Generation III games as one of the starter Pokémon of the Hoenn region. It is recognized for the small hooks on its feet that allow it to climb vertical surfaces with ease, and for using its thick tail as a weapon in battle. Calm and collected by nature, Treecko is often depicted as composed under pressure despite its small size.
