It depends on how viable of options you want. Dragonite (now has multiscale) resists most of what Serp is going to be doing but will be crippled by glare and hp ice. Volcarona can switch in Serp but also doesn't like glare. Amoonguss 4x resists leaf storm and has stab poison moves to pick it off, without regenerator though I'm unsure how effective it'll be.

RysPicz Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Crobat can work very well with Infiltrator going through Sub, while outspeeding Serp. It has to be aware of Glare, though. Most common strategy is to use Chansey + Weavile- Chansey switches in to see what's the Serp set, then uses Teleport to allow Weavile a safe switch. Weavile then can use either icicle spear or pursuit depending on the predict. I've also seen Unaware Clefable doing some decent work against it, but it's not that viable in OU. epicdavenport and Plbbrt 1 1 Link to comment

People run dragon pulse as coverage. Most reliable answers tend to be stuff like a volt turn user with a revenge killer, like weavile, crobat/golbat, weezing (although not as reliable), offensively wise you can now also run infiltrator chandelure with scarf, volcarona is too fragile to be reliable, dragonite is likely fine now if paired with lefties and some bulk, im actually unsure if +0 leaf storm can break multiscales on bulky dnites w/haze.

Plbbrt Posted November 21, 2022 Author Share Posted November 21, 2022 I was also wondering whether if there are two contrary serperiors on the field, does the two contrary ability cancel itself so that leaf storm becomes -2 instead of +2 in that case ? Link to comment

The most common set i've seen is: - Leaf Storm - HP Fire - Leech Seed / Dragon Pulse - Substitute / Glare / Giga Drain(Only if Assault Gear) Link to comment

The 'norm' is Leaf storm + hp fire +2 moves of choice, generally sub/glare, glare/dragon pulse, those are the common sets. Some change it up a bit and run leech seed/taunt/knock off, but those are not common. Link to comment

And usually the sets i found is HP Fire/Leaf Storm and the two moves. Or is DPulse/Glare, that run variety of items, or Subseed, that runs Leftovers 100%, and if aren't one of those, is Assault Gear with DPulse and Giga Drain.
