Strategy Overview

Seviper has a niche as a mixed attacker with workable offensive stats. With decent typing defensively and offensively and a huge movepool, including Sludge Wave, Flamethrower, and even Giga Drain, Seviper is a nightmare against slower teams. On the other hand, its mediocre defensive stats make it difficult to bring in, even against resisted moves. On top of that, Seviper's lackluster speed makes it practically dead weight versus offensive teams, as it is forced out by pretty much anything faster.
