Serperior joined in Generation V as starter Pokemon. From its design, there is a slight resemblance to a dragon, starting speculation that it would be the first Dragon-type starter Pokemon. When Generation V was officially available, it turned out it was just Grass-type. The two Dragon-type moves lingering around in its movepool might have been reminiscent of the design.

In terms of legitimate use, Serperior was useless. It had no real use in the big leagues. With moderate stats, it was mainly used as support, yet there are still so many better Pokemon out there that can easily outdo Serperior's use. Its hidden ability, Contrary, was not and is still not officially released. It's a shame, because Contrary makes Serperior.

Serperior will receive one mega evolution(Serperiorite).

Mega Serperior

Type: Grass/Dragon

Ability: Contrary- Reverses the effects of stat modifying moves

Base Stats: HP: 75 Atk: 80(+5) Def: 109(+14) Sp. Atk: 115(+40) Sp. Def: 109(+14) Speed: 140(+27) BST: 628

New Moves: Tutor- Draco Meteor

Mega Serperior's stats have been changed quite drastically from its original form. The new Dragon-type removes its fire weakness and renders its previous resistances to be even weaker, besides ground. However, it gains a weakness to dragon and a greater vulnerability to ice.

A large boost has been given to Special Attack to emphasize its use as a Special Attacker. Its new move, Draco Meteor, takes full use of its ability, Contrary, allowing Serperior to boost while attacking. Speed has been raised as well to allow it to sweep. The small boosts to the defense stats keep it a bit bulky, while being unable to survive huge threats and counters, especially Ice-type moves, in case an opposing Mega Serperior gets out of hand.

Appearance: Mega Serperior is a regal snake. The former neck area that peeled out now curls a little less and resembles a collar from a "vampire cloak". The darker green areas are colored a dark shade of turquoise. The brighter green areas are now covered by a couple of thorns, like the stem of a rose, with not too many thorns. Its "horns" extend outward more, with a third one in between the two, resembling a crown. The two leaves by its sides stick out more and grow slightly larger, also similar to wings. All white areas are a light, golden color. Finally, its tail's leaves become fan shaped.

Is this acceptable as a Mega Evolution (Mega Serperior)?
