Sceptile can be both Special and Physical. Although its Physical Movepool is overlooked
In-Game its upto you weather you want to Mega Evolve Sceptile.
Competitive-wise, if you pair M-Sceptile with a Pokemon which benefits from Lightingrod can be good use. As frail as it is without the 4x weakness to Ice so M-Sceptile won't last long. So depending on how well it synergizes with the rest if team you should decide weather or not
