Strategy Overview
Servine is a potent utility machine, capable of spreading paralysis consistently with its Glare and providing Knock Off support to remove the pesky Eviolite from would-be checks like Hisuian Sliggoo and Ivysaur. Contrary is a dangerous ability when used in conjunction with STAB Leaf Storm, allowing even defensive Servine sets to become difficult to wall after one or two boosts. With reliable recovery in Synthesis to complement great utility moves like Leech Seed and Taunt, Servine can be quite disruptive and difficult to take down with its passable natural bulk. It does, however, suffer from a weakness to common threats like Poison-types such as Ivysaur and Koffing, which can sponge its attacks comfortably, and Steel-types like Hisuian Sliggoo and Varoom, which can also take Servine on with ease. Strong Fire-types such as Monferno and Pignite can threaten Servine out consistently, allowing them to use their powerful STAB attacks and Knock Off to great effect.
