Trivia
- In an infamous Pokémon Trainer's Choice, Seviper was incorrectly claimed to be an evolution 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 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.
Name origin
Seviper is a combination of sever (to cut and detach) or severe (intense) and viper.
Habunake is a combination of 波布 habu and snake.
