Overview

  • Has a diverse offensive movepool and great move pool Delete this, its movepool is not impressive
  • Can run a lot of sets, making it unpredictable. examples are calm mind,para shuffler, coil, and sword dance sets Question is, are all these sets actually threatening and actually viable? Instead say that it can run SubCM and SD effectively, making the opponent guess
  • Is weak without a coil, sword dance, and a calm mind boost
  • Has no good coverage to take advantage of
Add that Serperior has:
- Great speed
- Good bulk
- Okay offenses that can be boosted

move 3:Hidden Power Rock
move 4:Substitute / Taunt
ability:Overgrow
item:Life Orb
evs: 252 spA / 252 Spe / 4 HP Wrong EV spread format. It should go in order like this: HP / Atk / Def / SpA / SpD / Spe so the spread should look like 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
nature: Timid

Mention HP Ice and Fire, they give good coverage too. Also slash Taunt with Sub, it's great for setting up against walls

^^^This bullet would go better in Team Options
Also mention that you want to set up on walls mainly
Team Options

Team Options
========

To start you off, Archeops is a great teammate, outspeeding and taking care of Rock- and Fire-types (among others) to help Serperior sweep. He also just breaks down walls and tanks in general, again helping Serperior sweep late-game

Other Options
########

serperior can run a coil set as a efficient stall breaker.
Serperior can run a parashuffler set to rake up damage with entry hazards

Ummm, Aqua tail and aerial ace should be atleast in OO as they allow seperior to kills it's slower checks; i.e: Torkoal, Masquerain, Leafeon, Magmortar, specs typh armaldo etc. A lum berry is also nice as you can setup on rotom's and mismagius' will-os, get to +4 and just... kill (SD set obv) And the parashuffler set should have it's own section because I've used it before, and it's extremely obnoxious towards mons such as non-protect zangoose. And just things it outspeeds in general
