Seviper (#336) is a Poison-type Pokémon from the Hoenn region (Generation 3) in Pokémon GO. With a maximum CP of 2,409 at Level 50 with perfect 15/15/15 IVs, Seviper can be effective with the right strategy. This complete guide covers the best moveset, PvP analysis, raid counters, evolution, and shiny availability for Seviper in 2026.
Seviper's Attack stat is 196 (Good). A decent Attack stat that allows Seviper to contribute meaningful damage.
With 118 Defense (Average) and 177 Stamina (Good), the total stat product is 491. This gives Seviper reasonable durability in battle. Compared to other Poison-type Pokémon, Seviper's stat distribution leans toward offense.
The best moveset for Seviper depends on whether you use it for raids, gyms, or PvP. For raids, use Poison Jab (Fast) with Poison Fang (Charged) for maximum DPS. This takes advantage of STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus) which provides a 20% damage boost for matching-type moves.
For PvP (GO Battle League), energy generation and coverage matter more than raw DPS. Seviper has 2 Fast Attacks and 3 Charged Attacks to choose from.
In Great League, Seviper can be a viable pick. For Great League, lower Attack IVs (like 0/15/15) are preferred to maximize stat product under 1500 CP. The Poison typing provides useful matchups against Fighting, Poison, Bug-type threats while being weak to Ground, Psychic types.
In Ultra League, Seviper reaches 2,105 CP at Level 40. Pair it with Pokémon that cover its weaknesses.
In Master League, Seviper faces tough competition from Pokémon with higher CP caps. It is better suited for capped leagues.
As a raid attacker, Seviper's effectiveness depends on its typing and 196 Attack stat. It may not be the top raid choice but contributes in the right conditions. Best counters against Seviper use Ground, Psychic-type moves.
Seviper can be found in the wild, hatched from Eggs, obtained through Research tasks, and during events. In Cloudy weather, it receives a spawn boost. The buddy distance is 3km per candy — use Pinap Berries for double candy when catching.
