FAQs

Offense staples such as Magearna and Mega Medicham are prime partners for Serperior, as they pressure Heatran and help Serperior break down teams, especially in tandem with Glare support.

When it comes to late-game cleaners, Serperior does its job very well thanks to its superior Speed tier and surprisingly solid natural bulk. With said Speed tier, it's able to outspeed and heavily damage many threats in the metagame like Rotom-S, Charizard, and Haunter.

serperior would win because its faster and its super-effective, but i like samurott more.

Mega Sceptile has better coverage. Mega Sceptile has better coverage. The only difference is that Sceptile is capable of running both Fire and Ground coverage on the same set unlike Serperior who needs to switch Hidden Power types. Sceptile also has Swords Dance and a gigantic physical movepool to make use of.

Snivy is a great pokemon. It's even better if you breed Glare on it. Sure, it may not have the immediate offensive power of the Oshawott and Tepig lines, but it can take many hits, is faster than a good number of pokemon, has a decent support movepool, and can set up with Coil.

Serperior appears to be based on different species of serpents and legless lizards. Its Grass typing may be a reference vine snakes, or even tree snakes and grass snakes. Some of Serperior's features are similar to genera of skinks with serpentine aspect such as, but not limited to, Brachymeles and Ablepharus.

The best Pokemon Go Rhyperior counters are Primal Kyogre, Shadow Kyogre, Mega Sceptile, Kyogre, Mega Swampert & Mega Venusaur. Login to see your custom results!

Unless your Serperior has a Nature which decreases physical Attack, Return is preferable, because its base damage doesn't depend on the opponent's current HP like Wring Out. Even then, Return might be preferable in any case, especially if you're using Leech Seed.

Should Servine learn Leech Seed? ›

Set up Leech Seed first, as Servine is going to need to tank a few hits. Servine needs to be at a whopping +5 Attack to OHKO Excadrill with Leaf Blade, and it will never OHKO with Leaf Tornado (barring a critical hit, of course).

Leech Seed allows Serperior to sap away health from its opponent for itself, allowing it to beat anything that it can outspeed, take a hit from, and land a Leech Seed on, like Avalugg and Garchomp. Leaf Storm is Serperior's STAB option which will boost its Special Attack after each successful use.

While it's pretty bulky (on par with Meganium), less valuable secondary coverage makes it a significantly less exciting choice. If you just need a Frenzy Plant user, Serperior could certainly be worse, but it shouldn't be your go-to option. Much like in Great League, Serperior is a bulky Vine Whip/Frenzy Plant user.

Thanks to Solid Rock and access to Stealth Rock, Rhyperior is able to run an efficient tank set that allows it to be one of the best offensive users of Stealth Rock in the tier. However, one shouldn't just focus on Rhyperior's abilities to tank hits and set up entry hazards.

Steel / Fairy

The Fairy typing is exceptional both offensively and defensively, and one of the best ways to potentially accentuate the typing's strengths is by combining it with another great all-around typing in Steel; this blessed combination gives the Pokémon a total of nine resistances and two immunities.
