No, Mega Spectile is physical.

*Mega Sceptile gets an ability that boosts its Special Attack when hit by an electric-type move*

*"is physical"*

Sceptile's supposed to be a speedy physical grass type.

The only thing that indicates that is how Sceptile's special movepool is lacking in comparison to its physical (which is likely due to neglect- hopefully that will change with OR/AS). Its stats indicate otherwise.

But Sceptile is a special attacker?

It's special movepool is shit.

Sceptile is actually far better as a special attacker. However, after the special/physical split in Gen IV, it became basically useless as a special attacker.

This is what I mean about "neglect"; it's very likely that they just forgot/didn't care to vastly change Sceptile's movepool in or after Gen IV. A similar situation occurred with Flareon: until Gen VI, it couldn't learn Flare Blitz (but had a rather-monstrous attack stat with which to use it... and Guts).

Additionally, the fact that Mega Sceptile has a special-oriented ability makes it appear as if they'll be giving it some more special moves. Or, at the very least, they'll make it a mixed attacker.

85 base attack
105 base special attack

Who knows what the mega evo's stats will be? This thing needs a better special movepool.

This thing is gonna be so good, since it's referenced as not a support Pokemon. First you can do your Prankster Will-O shenanigans or Substitute and then Mega Evolve and wreck all the shit.
