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

Thanks to a high Speed stat and rare combination of Contrary and Leaf Storm, the Regal Pokemon is a potent cleaner and sweeper! Hidden Power Fire is required to hit Pokemon like Ferrothorn and Mega Scizor, which would otherwise beat it. Glare gives Serperior utility for its team and makes would-be checks like Volcarona, Dragonite, and Tornadus-T worry about switching in. Substitute lets Serperior tank a hit and take advantage of the switches it forces or set up on walls looking to stay in like Toxapex. Tera Ground gives Serperior the ability to hit Galarian Slowking and Heatran, which otherwise completely wall it. Tera Steel is an option if running Substitute, letting it shut down Galarian Slowking and flip the matchup on threats like Tapu Lele and Weavile. The given EV spread lets Serperior's Substitute tank Ferrothorn's Power Whip and Rotom-W’s Hydro Pump. Specially defensive walls like Heatran and Galarian Slowking completely wall Serperior if it does not Terastallize, so Pokemon that can take on these two like Landorus-T, Urshifu-R, and Mega Medicham are helpful to have, with the latter two also appreciating the paralysis Serperior spreads with Glare.

Thanks to a high Speed stat and rare combination of Contrary and Leaf Storm, the Regeal Regal Pokemon is one of National Dex's most threatening sweepers and cleaners ye i wouldnt go that far lol, its good, but not that good (b tier), maybe something like “a potent bla bla bla“ ! Hidden Power Fire is a great coverage option this wording makes it sound like hp fire is an option, reword to something else please, hitting Pokemon like Ferrothorn and Mega Scizor who would otherwise tank multiple Leaf Storms beat it the initial wording sounds like they can stall it off or serp can use other options to beat them. Glare gives Serperior utility for its team and makes would be checks like Volcarona, Dragonite, and Tornadus-T worry about switching in. Substitute lets Serperior tank a hit and lets it take advantage of the switches it forces or set up on walls looking to stay in on Serperior like?. Tera Blast, when ran with Tera Ground, gives Serperior the ability to hit Galarian Slowking and Heatran who otherwise completely wall it. Tera Steel is an option on Serperiors running Substitute, letting it flip the matchup on threats like Tapu Lele and Weavile please mention the gking interaction here, this is very important and literally the main reason for tera steel. The given EV spread lets Serperior's Substitute tank Ferrothorn's Power Whip and Rotom-W’s Hydro Pump. Specially Defensive walls like Heatran and Galarian Slowking completely wall Serperior if it does not Tera, so Pokemon like Landorus-T, Urshifu-R Great Tusk, and Mega Medicham who can take these two on are helpful to have mention how the latter 2 guys also appreciate glare.
lmk when implemented, i want to go over it again

it does not do anything to gking unless it teras, change to a different mention

letting it flip the matchup on threats like Tapu Lele and Weavile and shut down Galarian Slowking
reorder this to put the gking first, sub is the most important bit for gking because it cant twave you

u forgot to change the examples in the last line

please look carefully and implement properly, no need to rush this. lmk when implemented so i can check again

stay in on Serperior like Ferrothorn
change this to toxapex, ferrothorn would never stay in unless it has gyro ball, in which case it breaks sub, otherwise it is setup fodder regardless

please only write for spotlights if you play the tier enough in the future

1/1 after this
