HakuryuYukio 26 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 So i've been thinking about benching my starter serperior because it seems that reborn's powercreep is starting to catch up to it. I couldn't use it in the gauntlet because of Shelly, Cain and Serra and and all the upcoming battles don't seem to favor it either. Saphira, Lin, Bennett and Heather for example. Is Volc a good replacement this late into the game ? Thank you for all answers in advance Link to post Share on other sites
logintomylife 24 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 This late in the game? Definitely, if you can get it Quiver Dance you can get through half of the fights without breaking sweat, I think. Link to post Share on other sites
Ryuta 2 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 It all depend on your composition. Volcarona is very good stat and move pool wise. All and all you should have many Pokemon in reserve in case you have to change start on the fly. This may be unrelated to the question but I recommend training honedge it's very versatile and can set up on it's own without needing much help. Link to post Share on other sites
Alistair 705 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Is Volc a good replacement for Serperior? Depends on your team comp. Generally speaking it may provide better offensive presence but it's not like Contrary Serperior is bad either. You'll probably want to switch them in and out depending on the circumstances. Is Volc worth it? Yes, absolutely. Regardless of what you prefer using, it's never a bad idea to have one ready to go. Link to post Share on other sites

I have an Aegislash, so i can do this. 49 minutes ago, Alistair said: Is Volc a good replacement for Serperior? Depends on your team comp.

Volc can learn Giga Drain which is great for recovery. And i have a Greninja that i can run Grass Knot on. Link to post Share on other sites
RedAlert 68 Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 My starter is serperior and it's literally the mvp. Do u not have contrary on it? Leaf Storm + Glare set is fantastic, try it out Link to post Share on other sites
