Trivia
- Serperior is the tallest Grass-type Pokémon and the tallest fully evolved starter Pokémon.
- Serperior, Samurott and Emboar all share the same base stat total of 528.
- Serperior has the lowest Attack base stat of all fully evolved starter Pokémon.
- Serperior is the only starter Pokémon as well as the only Pokémon introduced in Generation V with a serpentine body.
Origin
Serperior is based on multiple species of non-venomous snakes and limbless lizards, such as Oxybelis fulgidus, Ahaetulla nasuta and Ahaetulla prasina (species of vine snakes), as well as the emerald tree boa, the royal python and possibly the snake-like Burton's legless lizard. Its design has also been inspired by birds of paradise flowers. Its appearance may have also been inspired by the Quetzalcoatl; a green, feathered serpent deity. Serperior's appearance may have been based on the acanthus leaf motifs used specially during the 18th century. It and its pre-evolutions were confirmed to have been inspired from European, specifically French, royalty. The fact that Serperior amplifies sunlight in its body, as stated in its Pokédex entry, may be an allusion to King Louis XIV, a famous French king who referred to himself as the "Sun King". Serperior's white face also alludes to the skin whitening fashion, mostly used by the European aristocracy in the 17th century. Serperior's dark green design on its chest seems to form a fleur-de-lis, a French insignia that is used on many European noble families' and nations' coat of arms. The fact that Serperior can seize opponents with its piercing stare makes a reference to the basilisk, king of serpents in European legends. The plant-like appendages may bear a small resemblance to the cobra.
Name origin
Serperior is a combination of serpent and superior. It may also be a combination of serpent and warrior or emperor.
Jalorda is derived from 蛇 ja (snake) and lord.
