Servine (Japanese: ジャノビー Janovy) is a Grass-type Pokémon.

It evolves from Snivy starting at level 17 and evolves into Serperior starting at level 36.

Biology

Physiology

Similar to its pre-evolution, Snivy, Servine is primarily green with a cream-colored underside. It has a yellow collar-like structure that starts at the chest and proceeds behind the shoulders. Three palmate leaves grow along its back and tail. Servine has four short limbs and a small crest protruding from the back of its head. It has narrow red eyes and a sneering face.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Servine is incredibly fast. When it runs, it appears to be sliding across the ground. It uses its speed to its advantage to confuse opponents. It can hide in the shadows of thick foliage to dodge attacks, then retaliate with a powerful whipping attack.

Behavior

Servine hides in the shadows of foliage, confuses its opponents with its intense speed, then strikes them down with a powerful vine whip. It also likes to keep itself clean all the time, because otherwise it can't use its leaves for photosynthesis.

Habitat

Servine live in areas with thick foliage.

Trivia

Origin

Servine's color scheme is similar to its species' possible namesake, Opheodrys aestivus, the North American grass snake, while there are a variety of vine snake species Servine may be based off of; examples include Oxybelis fulgidus, Ahaetulla nasuta, or Ahaetulla prasina. Its head and general body shape, as well as the yellow crest on its body and shoulders, may be based on the birds of paradise flowers or false birds of paradise. Its evolutionary line was confirmed by Ken Sugimori to have been based on French royalty. Servine's physical appearance may also have been based on the acanthus leaf motifs used specially during the 14th and 18th centuries.

Name origin

Servine is a combination of serpent and vine.

Janovy may be a combination of 蛇 ja (snake) and canopy or ivy.
