Something that would have added to the theming (like you said in the abilities) would be giving it the ability sharpness to boost all the cutting physical attacks that you gave in the the moves section. Entertaining vid tho. Good luck
Nasty Plot & Earth Power would do a lot to allow Sceptile to function as a Special unburden sweeper or Special wall breaker with Overgrow. NP/EP would not be strange for Sceptile when looking at their distributions. Some sort of pivoting move or other utility would also be nice.
The stat swap is enought to me, his phisical moveset its already really good, he has earthquake for steel types and acrobatics that works really well with unburden but will be problematic if we use it on mega sceptile... Radical red changed mega sceptile's ability to technician, wich fits him very well, but what about sharpness? I would give much more power to leaf blade, X scizzors and night slash (that are moves that he already has) becomes more viable thanks to the power boost of the ability.
I think that the first thing to consider about sceptile is the fact that plant type pokemon are hard to balance since the type has so many weaknesses. I don't think pure plant type is a good typing, and most good plant type pokemon are good because of their second type (think kartana with steel type or tapu bulu with fairy type) Secondly, i think that special attackers are generally better than physical attackers but it's definately not something that defines the viability of a pokemon, I just wanted to point it out lol. And regarding the new moves, I just don't understand why you want him to have so many priority moves, he's a really fast pokemon already who would do better with powerful moves since he's probably going to outspeed whatever he's fighting against. Also, mach punch and bullet punch would only be useful coverage moves against ice type pokemon. Some better moves (if you kept him as a special attacker) would be thunderbolt for flying type coverage, or even dark pulse (also makes sense because he has thunder punch and night slash already). For the ability I think the same as with priority moves, why would you want to make an already fast pokemon even faster? There are so many abilities that it's hard to think of an appropriate one but off the top of my head I think defiant or competitive could be good abilities (specially defiant if he's a physical attacker). Anyways im not even good at pokemon so if you think im wrong somewhere let me know. Sorry for the long comment lol I was bored. I love this kind of vids, it's so interesting to think about what makes a pokemon good. I just wish bad pokes got buffs more frequently.

I like how radical red did it, make it dragon/grass type, make it physical and give it technician when mega
STAB Bullet Seed and Scale Shot, as well as Rock Tomb, Bulldoze
The attack stats definitely need swapped. It’s only got that special attack stat because back in gen 3 all grass moves were special.
Treecko was my first starter ever too in Emerald

I think design wise sceptile should have sharpness you just need to give more slicing moves and more atk and you got lower tier sweeper
Swampert my favorite gen 3 starter can easily be fix via giving it recover and regenerator.
Omg I'm a little trooper? 🥺
Yes you are
