Seviper is a serpentine Pokémon that is usually depicted scrunched up like an accordion. It is mostly black, but has several markings on its body. It has yellow hexagon markings that run from its head to its tail, small yellow bumps where it touches the ground, and various purple scar-like marks. It has elongated red fangs that protrude from its upper jaw and fierce red eyes. Its tail is partially red and has a blade-like shape. Seviper sharpens its tail on rocks, and can use it for its former [[signature move]], {{m|Poison Tail}}.

Seviper is a serpentine {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that is usually depicted scrunched up like an accordion. It is mostly covered in black scales, but it has several markings on its body. It has yellow hexagon markings that run from its head to its tail, small yellow bumps where it touches the ground, and various purple scar-like marks. It has elongated red fangs that protrude from its upper jaw and fierce red eyes. Its tail is partially red and has a blade-like shape. Seviper sharpens its tail on rocks.  
Seviper wraps around its opponents to make them unable to move. Its tail and fangs are venomous, and are used for striking and poisoning prey or enemies. It has been bitter enemies with {{p|Zangoose}} for many generations. It lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grassy areas.}}
 
==In the anime==
[[File:Seviper anime.png|thumb|255px|left|Seviper in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Jessie's Seviper]]====
Seviper first appeared in ''[[AG008|A Tail with a Twist]]''. [[Jessie]] was so impressed by how it beat up [[Ash's Treecko]], that she had to capture it. After it bit off a chunk of her hair accidentally, she beat it up with her own two hands. After [[James]] and {{MTR}} calmed her back down, she captured it in a [[Poké Ball]].
 
====[[Lucy's Seviper]]====
The {{DL|Battle Frontier (Hoenn)|Battle Pike}} Queen {{FB|Pike Queen|Lucy}} owns a Seviper. She used it to fight off {{TRT}} and to battle [[Ash's Donphan]] in ''[[AG158|Queen of the Serpentine]]''.
 
====Other====
A Seviper appeared in ''[[BW114|Saving Braviary!]]'' under the ownership of a {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}} named [[Schwarz and Weiss|Schwarz]].
 
Multiple Seviper appeared in ''[[XY069|Defending the Homeland!]]''. They are one of {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Florges}}'s minions who orders them to attack {{AP|Goodra}}'s homeland. Two of them reappeared in [[XY070]].
 
===Minor appearances===
A Seviper appeared in a flashback in ''[[XY065|Good Friends, Great Training!]]''.
 
===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Hoenn}}
{{Animedexbody|AG008|Seviper|Ash's Pokédex|Seviper, the Fang Snake Pokémon. Seviper is known for its angry disposition, immobilizing its opponents by {{m|Wrap|wrapping}} its body around them.}}
{{Animedexbody|AG048|Seviper|Nicholai's Pokédex|Seviper, the Fang Snake Pokémon. Seviper shares a generations-long feud with Zangoose. Its sword-like tail can slash foes and douse them with poison.}}

==In the manga==
[[File:Seviper Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Seviper in Pokémon Adventures]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
A wild Seviper attacked {{adv|Ruby}} and {{adv|Sapphire}} after the latter took him to her [[Secret Base]]. [[Chic|Her Torchic]] was able to put it down for the time being with its {{m|Ember}} barrage, but it rose back up after Sapphire fainted from an earlier wound. Ruby, seeing that there was no one around to see him fight, knocked it out cold before leaving Sapphire a letter and a change of clothes.
 
Another Seviper appeared in the wild in ''[[PS207|On the Loose and Hyper with Zangoose and Seviper I]]'' and ''[[PS208|On the Loose and Hyper with Zangoose and Seviper II]]''  where it broke Ruby's [[Poké Ball]]s in unison with a wild {{p|Zangoose}}. The then-uncaptured [[Feefee]] was able to take them both out, resulting in it being forced into his team (which provided a sharp contrast between the well-groomed [[Nana]] and [[Kiki]], and [[Mumu]] and itself).
 
As in the games, the [[Pike Queen Lucy]] uses a Seviper as her main Pokémon, which was able to defeat two [[rental Pokémon]] in an exhibition match, and later fought {{adv|Emerald}} before losing.
 
===In the Pokémon Battle Frontier manga===
{{main|Lucy's Seviper}}
Lucy used a Seviper during her battle with {{OBP|Enta|CBF}}.

It has been bitter enemies with {{p|Zangoose}} for many generations. It lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands and savannas}}. In [[New Pokémon Snap]], a Seviper can be seen attempting to prey on an {{p|Octillery}}.

====Major appearances====
=====[[Jessie's Seviper]]=====
Seviper debuted in ''[[AG008|A Tail with a Twist]]'', where [[Jessie]] {{pkmn2|caught}} it. It became Jessie's main battling partner, replacing her {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}}. Jessie eventually left Seviper at {{an|Team Rocket HQ|Team Rocket Headquarters}} when she headed to the [[Unova]] [[region]] so they wouldn't attract attention by using non-Unovan Pokémon.
=====[[Lucy's Seviper]]=====
In ''[[AG158|Queen of the Serpentine!]]'', [[Lucy]] first used a Seviper to fight off {{TRT}}, during which it clashed against Jessie's own Seviper. It was then used to battle [[Ash's Donphan]] at the [[Battle Pike]], and it lost.
=====Other=====
In ''[[BW114|Saving Braviary!]]'', [[Schwarz and Weiss|Schwarz]] sent out a Seviper after he and Weiss caught {{an|N}} getting away with {{p|Braviary}}. It was then used to battle {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}, and it was eventually defeated in a battle by [[Iris's Excadrill]].
In ''[[XY069|Defending the Homeland!]]'', multiple Seviper were among {{an|Florges}}'s minions that were ordered to attack {{AP|Goodra}}'s homeland. Two of them reappeared in ''[[XY070|Beyond the Rainbow!]]'', ''[[XY112|Master Class is in Session!]]'', and ''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]''.

In the [[Pokémon Black Version 2 and Pokémon White Version 2 Animated Trailer]], a female {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}}'s Seviper was ordered to attack {{ga|Nate}}, [[Hugh]], and [[Cheren]] with {{m|Bite}} aboard the [[Plasma Frigate]].

===Pokémon Adventures===
{{main|Lucy's Seviper}}
In ''[[PS183|Trying to Trounce Torchic]]'', a {{pkmn2|wild}} Seviper attacked {{adv|Ruby}} and {{adv|Sapphire}} after the latter took him to her [[Secret Base]]. Her {{p|Torchic}}, [[Chic]], was able to put it down for the time being with its {{m|Ember}} barrage, but it rose back up after Sapphire fainted from an earlier wound. Ruby, seeing that there was no one around to see him fight, knocked it out cold with his {{adv|Celebi|last resort Pokémon}} before leaving Sapphire a letter and a change of clothes.
Another wild Seviper appeared in ''[[PS207|On the Loose and Hyper with Zangoose and Seviper I]]'' and ''[[PS208|On the Loose and Hyper with Zangoose and Seviper II]]'' where it broke Ruby's {{i|Poké Ball}}s in unison with a wild {{p|Zangoose}}. The then-uncaptured [[Feefee]] was able to take them both out, resulting in it being forced into his team (which provided a sharp contrast between the well-groomed [[Nana]] and [[Kiki]], and [[Mumu]] and itself).
As in the {{pkmn|games}}, [[Lucy]] uses a Seviper as her main Pokémon, which was able to defeat two [[rental Pokémon]] in an {{wp|exhibition game|exhibition match}}, and later fought {{adv|Emerald}} before losing. She first appeared in ''[[PS304|Swanky Showdown with Swalot]]''.

===Origin===
===Origin===
Seviper is based on a viper; specifically, the {{wp|habu}}, a type of venomous {{wp|snake}} that was often pitted against {{wp|mongoose}}s in roadside shows. This practice is now considered inhumane and is rarely seen today. Aside from its scars, the shape of its color pattern resembles that of the {{wp|Trimeresurus elegans|elegant pitviper}}. The rivalry it shares with Zangoose is based on the relationship between mongooses and snakes.

Seviper (Japanese: ハブネーク Habunake) is a Poison-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III.

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

It is well known for its ongoing feud against Zangoose.

Biology

A Seviper and Zangoose battling

Seviper is a serpentine Pokémon that is usually depicted scrunched up like an accordion. It is mostly covered in black scales, but it has several markings on its body. It has yellow hexagon markings that run from its head to its tail, small yellow bumps where it touches the ground, and various purple scar-like marks. It has elongated red fangs that protrude from its upper jaw and fierce red eyes. Its tail is partially red and has a blade-like shape. Seviper sharpens its tail on rocks.

Seviper wraps around its opponents to make them unable to move. Its tail and fangs are venomous and are used for striking and poisoning prey or enemies. It has been bitter enemies with Zangoose for many generations. It lives in grasslands and savannas. In New Pokémon Snap, a Seviper can be seen attempting to prey on an Octillery.

Prior to Generation V, Poison Tail was its signature move, but other Pokémon could still inherit it via breeding.

Lucy's Seviper

In Queen of the Serpentine!, Lucy first used a Seviper to fight off Team Rocket, during which it clashed against Jessie's own Seviper. It was then used to battle Ash's Donphan at the Battle Pike, and it lost.

Other

In Saving Braviary!, Schwarz sent out a Seviper after he and Weiss caught N getting away with Braviary. It was then used to battle Ash and his friends, and it was eventually defeated in a battle by Iris's Excadrill.

In Defending the Homeland!, multiple Seviper were among Florges's minions that were ordered to attack Goodra's homeland. Two of them reappeared in Beyond the Rainbow!, Master Class is in Session!, and Till We Compete Again!.

Pokémon Adventures

Main article: Lucy's Seviper

In Trying to Trounce Torchic, a wild Seviper attacked Ruby and Sapphire after the latter took him to her Secret Base. Her Torchic, Chic, was able to put it down for the time being with its Ember barrage, but it rose back up after Sapphire fainted from an earlier wound. Ruby, seeing that there was no one around to see him fight, knocked it out cold with his last resort Pokémon before leaving Sapphire a letter and a change of clothes.

Another wild Seviper appeared in On the Loose and Hyper with Zangoose and Seviper I and On the Loose and Hyper with Zangoose and Seviper II where it broke Ruby's Poké Balls in unison with a wild Zangoose. The then-uncaptured Feefee was able to take them both out, resulting in it being forced into his team (which provided a sharp contrast between the well-groomed Nana and Kiki, and Mumu and itself).

As in the games, Lucy uses a Seviper as her main Pokémon, which was able to defeat two rental Pokémon in an exhibition match, and later fought Emerald before losing. She first appeared in Swanky Showdown with Swalot.

A Seviper caught by Crystal and lent to Emerald for his Battle Pike challenge appeared in a fantasy in Moving Past Milotic.

A Team Plasma Grunt's Seviper was seen in The Final Battle: Crushed Ambition.

Trivia

  • In an infamous Pokémon Trainer's Choice, Seviper was incorrectly claimed to be an evolved form of Arbok.
  • Seviper and its rival Zangoose share several characteristics, such as being in the Field Egg Group, residing in the same Friend Area, and being the only two Pokémon with a base stat total of 458.
    • Seviper and Zangoose also have the exact opposite Experience group, with Seviper being in the Fluctuating group and Zangoose being in the Erratic group.
  • Seviper is the only pure Poison-type Pokémon to not have an evolutionary relative.

Origin

Seviper is based on a viper; specifically, the habu, a type of venomous snake that was often pitted against mongooses in roadside shows. This practice is now considered inhumane and is rarely seen today. Aside from its scars, the shape of its color pattern resembles that of the elegant pitviper. The rivalry it shares with Zangoose is based on the relationship between mongooses and snakes. Its body is covered in purple scars that match in color with Zangoose's claws from Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire. Seviper's tail ends with a knife-like blade.

Name origin

Seviper may be a combination of sever (to cut and detach), severe (intense) or serpent and viper.

Habunake may be a combination of 波布 habu and snake.
