PvE Analysis

Shadow Serperior PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

• Grass Attacker:Vine WhipFrenzy Plant

Serperior, in general, is simply not designed for PvE combat due to its low ATK, which fails to make a meaningful impact. The Shadow bonus does nothing to help it.

Seriously, don’t use it in PvE battles. ‼️

⚔️ Raids

As mentioned, its offenses are severely lacking, and the loss of bulk as a Shadow Pokémon makes it even worse. 😭

🛡️ Gyms

While regular Serperior can be a decent Gym defender, the Shadow variant is significantly worse. 📉

🔵 Great League

Shadow Serperior is more of a sidegrade to the regular version, securing victories against Annihilape, Cresselia, Dachsbun, and Malamar while losing to Galarian Corsola and Lickilicky in the (1-1) shield scenario (though it beats them without shields). It also gains an edge against Clodsire with full shields up. 👀

However, some of Shadow Serperior's losses are wins for the regular version due to its better bulk. Both versions have their perks, but ultimately, the regular, bulkier Serperior may be slightly better. 🐍

🟡 Ultra League

Shadow Serperior suffers in the Ultra League due to its nerfed tankiness, taking more damage than it can handle. Furthermore, Venusaur is a far superior option, making it unnecessary to use a weaker Grass-type Pokémon.

🟣 Master League

The snake is effortlessly slaughtered by the titans of the Master League. 😵
