No. 336: Seviper

Really Gamefreak? Not Ripev? Missing out here, guys.

Ooookay, yeah, there's just so much shit going on with Seviper, I don't know where to start.

Gold plates on its back and part of its forehead, random purple splotches, including a jagged one on its "chest", gold nubules on its belly (leg remnants?), red fangs, and a red tail blade. Holy shit, it makes my eyes get tired and confused just looking at it. He is a confusing, redundant mess, and his position on Team Rocket is only more infuriating.

We didn't need another snake, and certainly not one like Seviper.

But, I do want to take a little time to say that I like the idea of a Mongoose and Snake Pokemon being eternal enemies, but it would have worked better if they could've both been super-effective against eachother.

Like, Zangoose is Normal/Ground, Seviper is Poison/Fighting, something like that. As it is, they're just kind of enemies, but they have no mechanics in place to make them such.


Overall: 1/10

  1. We need more snakes, and how can you hate something that smile all the time? My one complaint (aside from the lack of Zangoose chemistry) would be it's screwy stats, being fragile AND slow is a no-no, even if it has good At/Spe.At.
