Last column: what percentage of 1084 species and regional forms have a lower value. Strong point: Sp. Atk.

Attack and Sp. Atk share first place here, so any nature that raises one of them will do. The list of natures shows what each one does.

Which nature to choose

Attack (100) and Sp. Atk (100) are nearly equal, so neither of these two stats can be lowered for free. The price has to be paid in defense — in the weaker one, because Defense does not stop anything here anyway.

  • Lonely +Atk · −Def The boost goes into the stronger offensive stat and the drop into a defense that does not decide anything anyway.

A conclusion drawn from base stats alone — a specific moveset can reverse it. All 25 natures.

Pokédex entry

TCG cards (12)

All Seviper cards →

Seviper has 12 cards in 12 sets. The oldest of them are shown below.

Offspring can come from 339 species from the same Egg Groups (with opposite genders) or from Ditto. Below are the first 12 by Pokédex number.

The Egg hatches after 20 cycles, which is roughly 5,400 steps. The exact cycle length depends on the game — newer titles shortened it noticeably — so treat this number as an order of magnitude, not a countdown. Having the Flame Body Ability in your party halves the wait.
