Intro To Pyke
For your first jungle clear, it can be quite tough. Depending on the jungler, one route can be:
Red Buff > Scuttle > Blue Buff > Other Scuttle > (Go back, or try and continue) Gromp > Wolves > (Hopefully not taken) Raptors
The other jungle path is a little more generic.
Red Buff > Raptors (Be careful, they're kinda hard as Pyke) > Blue Buff > Gromp > Scuttle > Wolves
For Krugs, you can get them whenever. I don't recommend getting them on your first clear.
The reason the jungle path on the top can be very strong sometimes is when you're against a slower jungler, getting both scuttles can put you at a higher level and higher gold count than them, causing it to be easier to gank and/or counter jungle.

Main Runes
Dark Harvest
The reason dark harvest is good on Pyke is due to his assassin characterists, and the fact that it can be a much later, stronger electrocute that chains between enemies.
Sudden Impact
Sudden Impact takes advantage from Pyke's E and his W, gaining some easy extra lethality.
Relentless Hunter
As an assassin jungler, it's good to get into a small fight, get a kill, and pop out, or you can chase an entire team when they're low health and start one shotting them one by one with your ultimate. Relentless hunter can make many of these things happen.
Secondary Runes
Celerity
Celerity gives Pyke some more movement speed and also increases his AD by a little bit.
Waterwalking
Waterwalking allows Pyke to swim into ganks much faster than he can without it, causing ganks to happen much sooner than normal, possibly allowing numerous kills. It also helps you get scuttle, and then bail.
