Sceptile, Meowscarada and Serperior: side-eye-1 side-eye-2

Ooh yah. Meow was fun with flower trick. I have to profess (confess?) ignorance about sceptile and serperior, when were/are they good?

[–] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Serperior was good with a technically illegal moveset in B2W2. It's hidden ability Contrary + Leaf Storm was really busted, the issue being that for official tournaments, Contrary wasn't available on Serperior until after the last official tournament of Gen V was over. In Smogon (smdh) it was alright but obviously wasn't going to compete in Ubers.

I see! Thanks for the explanation. My competitive knowledge extends to Wolfey vids and what one of my friend tells me about occasionally so it's useful to be able to keep up so I can chat with her about it.

Sceptile was screwed by the physical/special split.

Serperior though is actually really fun design.

I like how the evo line loses its legs
