Pokemon GO Seviper: Best Counters, Movesets & How to Get

Seviper, the Fang Snake Pokemon, is a Poison-type Pokemon. In Pokemon GO, Seviper is a region-exclusive Pokemon that can be challenging to obtain, but with the right strategies and knowledge, trainers can add this powerful Pokemon to their collection. This guide will provide an in-depth look at how to get Seviper, its best movesets for PvP and PvE battles, and the top counters to use against it in Raid Battles.

How to Get Seviper in Pokemon GO

Normally, Seviper is a region-exclusive Pokemon that can only be found in the wild in the Americas and Africa. However, during specific events, trainers worldwide may have the opportunity to encounter Seviper in the wild and 3-Star Raids. If you miss these events, you can still obtain Seviper through trading with friends who have caught it in its native regions.

Shiny Seviper is available in Pokemon GO, and during certain events, the shiny odds may be boosted, making it an excellent opportunity for trainers to add the rare shiny variant to their collection.

Despite its rarity and impressive appearance, Seviper is not considered a top-tier Pokemon in Pokemon GO battles due to its lackluster stats and movepool. However, it can still be a useful addition to your team in the Great League, particularly when facing Fairy-type opponents.

Best Movesets for Seviper

The best moveset for Seviper is:

• Fast Move: Poison Jab
• Charged Moves:
  • Poison Fang
  • Crunch

Poison Jab is a strong Fast Move that benefits from STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus) and provides good damage output and energy generation. Poison Fang is a low-cost Charged Move that is guaranteed to lower the opponent's Defense by one stage, while Crunch offers a 30% chance to decrease the target's Defense by one stage.

PvE Moveset

In PvE scenarios, such as Raids and Gym battles, the recommended moveset for Seviper is:

• Fast Move: Poison Jab
• Charged Move: Crunch

Although Crunch does not benefit from STAB, it is still a better choice than Poison Fang due to its higher damage output.

Countering Seviper in Raids

When facing Seviper in Raid Battles, trainers should exploit its weaknesses to Ground and Psychic-type moves. Some of the best counters against Seviper include:
