=====[[Jessie's Seviper]]=====
Seviper debuted 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 {{i|Poké Ball}}. Seviper became Jessie's main battling partner replacing her {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}}. Jessie was made to leave Seviper at {{an|Team Rocket HQ|Team Rocket Headquarters}} when she headed to the [[Unova]] [[region]] so they wouldn't attract attention by using Pokémon not from Unova.

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).

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

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, Poison Tail.

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 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!.

A Seviper appeared in ANL3, under the ownership of a Team Plasma Grunt.

In the Pocket Monsters Diamond & Pearl manga

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

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, 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 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 PS547.

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 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.
