How to catch Serperior in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet

While Serperior showed up in the Gen IX games with the DLC The Indigo Disk, one is not required to look at this as the sole way of getting it-just from that seven-star Unrivaled Tera Raid event. Other possible ways include finding a wild Snivy in Blueberry Academy's Savanna Biome after upgrading the Terarium and then evolving it, trading it with another player, or transferring one from another game via Pokémon HOME.

However, if you wish to catch Unrivaled Serperior with the desired Mightiest Mark, beating it in a seven-star Tera Raid is the only option. That is because the Mightiest Mark is found only in seven-star Tera Raids, making it one of the most prestigious rewards for taking part in such intensive fights.

Can You Catch More than One Serperior in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet Unrivaled Tera Raid?

You'll only be able to catch one Serperior with the Mightiest Mark from the seven-star Unrivaled Tera Raid event, as after that - since you can rechallenge the raid for other rewards - the game will block you from capturing another Serperior with this particular, highly exclusive Mightiest Mark.

What is the best Nature for Snivy, Servine and Serperior in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet?

Snivy, Servine, and Serperior are generally fast special attackers, which makes Modest and Timid the best Natures. Due to its Hidden Ability, Contrary, with a Modest or Timid Nature, Serperior is able to spam powerful Leaf Storms with a two-stage Special Attack boost. Go with Modest for more power or Timid for a higher chance to outspeed. Consider using this strategy in conjunction with Choice Specs to increase Special Attack, or with Choice Scarf for increased speed.

I personally favor the combination of Modest Nature and Choice Scarf, for it gives Serperior not only strength but also speed. With this Grass Starter setting up a few Special Attack boosts from Leaf Storm and Contrary, the opposing team can potentially get swept. However, be wary of the priority moves like Ice Shard and Extreme Speed, faster Choice Scarf users, Focus Sash holders, or Pokémon that can resist Special Grass attacks.

Don't forget to keep your Poké Portal News up to date for updates regarding the Serperior Tera Raid event, because the locations of the Tera Raids change constantly within the game. Good luck searching and battling!
