Serperior @ Leftovers
Ability: Contrary
EVs: 56 HP / 200 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Leaf Storm
- Hidden Power Fire
- Substitute
- Glare

Serperior slithers through Natdex OU, being able to outspeed most of its foes and progressively become overwhelming thanks to its ability to snowball out of control very easily and quickly with Leaf Storm. While Leaf Storm might seem too powerful at first glance, it does have checks in Mega Scizor and Ferrothorn, but that's where Hidden Power Fire comes in to finish them off once boosted. Serperior can also take advantage of bulkier Pokemon in Toxapex and Slowking via Substitute instead of boosting to give itself the upper hand against faster teams. This becomes extremely effective especially if running Glare, which can cripple its checks and make it very hard to stop from snowballing and potentially sweeping. Though Serperior may seem like a danger to Natdex OU, its checks are rather pestering for it. Heatran, Mega Charizard Y, and Corviknight do an excellent job at resisting its moves, even being able to scare it away. Pursuit support from partners like Tyranitar and Weavile helps it succeed by removing a major threat in Mega Latias. Teammates like Mega Medicham, Mega Garchomp, and Mega Mawile also enjoy the snake's ability to paralyze and slow down foes for them.

Serperior slithers through Natdex OU, being able to pass most of its opponents at high speeds, and it may take some time but it will get overwhelming to defend against. This is due to Leaf Storm and its ability letting it snowball out of control very easily and quickly. While Leaf Storm might be revealed as all powerful at a first glance, it does have checks in Mega Scizor and Ferrothorn, but that's where Hidden Power Fire comes in to finish them off once boosted. Serperior can also take advantage of bulkier Pokemon in Toxapex and Slowking via Substitute instead of boosting to give itself the upper hand against faster teams. This becomes extremely effective especially when paired with Glare making it very hard to stop from snowballing and potentially sweeping. mention how Glare can also be used on its checks, which all hate paralysis Though it may seem Serperior is a danger to Natdex OU it does have some drawbacks. Heatran, Mega Charizard Y, and Corviknight do excellent jobs at resisting the snake's wrath and even being able to scare it away. Teammates like Mega Medicham, Mega Garchomp, and Mega Mawile also enjoy the snake's ability to paralyze and slow down the tier for them. mention Pursuit here, that pairs insanely well with Serperior since heavily chipping down and removing stuff like Heatran makes Serperior's job much easier
very well done! qc 1/1

Glare can also cripple its checks greatly, and though it Though Serperior may seem Serperior is like a danger to Natdex OU, these checks are rather pestering for it. Heatran, Mega Charizard Y, and Corviknight do excellent jobs at resisting the snake's wrath and its moves,(AC) even being able to scare it away. Pursuit support also lets it feel like there is no escape to Serperior, being able to chip down Mega Latias, and the former two examples to let Serperior have its way (I'm struggling to find the meaning of this, I understand that Pursuit might be threatening to serp, but what does Mega Latias have to do with this? Who are the two examples? Please reword it). Teammates like Mega Medicham, Mega Garchomp, and Mega Mawile also enjoy the snake's ability to paralyze and slow down the tier foes for them.

Tag me again once you've implemented my edit and I'll give it a final check, I had to cut some stuff down because this was almost 1150 characters long.
