Serperior in Pokemon Survivor

Serperior at a glance

Stats and Stat Score

Serperior has 104 HP, 125 speed and a 1.11x attack multiplier. The multiplier scales every move it uses, so it is the number to watch.

Compared with the whole roster, its HP is above average, its speed is among the best on the roster and its attack is below average. Weighting attack at half and HP and speed at a quarter each gives the Stat Score of 55.3, which puts it at rank 405 overall, rank 65 of 141 among Unova Pokemon and rank 40 of 118 Grass-types. The score comes from the game's stat table, not from playtests, so read it together with the best Pokemon guide.

On the full Pokedex ranking Serperior sits next to Qwilfish one place above it and Ninetales one place below it.

Serperior moves

Pokemon that are not starters begin with the signature move of their first type, so Serperior starts every run with Vine Whip: long-range whips in a wide arc.

The level-up cards can then offer 12 different moves: the 8 Normal moves that every Pokemon shares plus 4 moves of its own type. Moves level up to level 5 and can evolve once you also take the stat card they need, which is covered in the move evolution guide. The permanent Repertoire upgrade adds a second, random starting move; see the upgrades guide.

• Normal moves: Tackle, Quick Attack, Swords Dance, Agility, Harden, Body Slam, Hyper Voice, Substitute
• Grass moves: Vine Whip, Razor Leaf, Petal Blizzard, Grass Knot

Weaknesses and resistances

Serperior takes extra damage from Fire (1.6x), Ice (1.6x), Poison (1.6x), Flying (1.6x), and Bug (1.6x). It resists Water (0.6x), Electric (0.6x), Grass (0.6x), and Ground (0.6x). The remaining 9 of 18 types deal normal damage. The chart is softer than the main games: a super-effective hit is x1.6, a resisted hit x0.6 and an immunity x0.3, and two types multiply with each other inside the range 0.3 to 2.4. See the type chart guide for every matchup.

The multipliers apply to the damage you take, and enemies attack with the first type listed for them, so the dangerous enemies for Serperior are the ones whose first type is Fire, Ice, Poison, Flying, or Bug. Boss shots carry their first type too. Weather does not change these numbers, but it changes your own damage; see the weather guide. There is no same-type bonus, so Grass moves do not hit harder just because Serperior shares the type.

How to get Serperior

Serperior is part of the Unova banner. A single pull first picks a rarity (6.5% for Epic) and then picks one of the 26 Epic Pokemon on that banner at random, so one pull gives Serperior a 0.25% chance. Without pity helping at this rarity, expect to need around 400 pulls for this one in particular, although the pulls you spend on the banner also fill the rest of your collection.

A pull costs one ticket and ten pulls cost ten tickets or one x10 ticket. Tickets are earned in runs, from missions and from chests and are never sold for money. A duplicate turns into 120 coins, or 360 if it is the shiny version. The full odds and the pity rule are in the gacha guide.

Shiny Serperior exists in this game. One pull in a hundred is a shiny, and wild enemies are shiny one time in 4096. Read the shiny guide for the details.

Serperior as an enemy

Serperior can show up as a regular enemy from 6:20 into the run (enemy tier 5). Each run draws only seven Pokemon per tier, so it is in some runs and absent from others.

Its enemy role is fan shooter: it fires a fan of shots in your direction.

It is also strong enough to be picked as a boss: it can fill the minute 3 or minute 6 slot. Boss fights are laid out in the bosses guide. Its attack set would be a ground slam, a leap onto your position, falling danger zones, and a ring of shots.
