Serperior or Butterfree?

I'm trying to figure out which Pokemon will fit the last spot on my team. I have a soft spot for Serperior, as it is my favorite 5th Gen starter, but with the Contrary Ability not working and with a low Special Attack stat anyway (my plan was Leaf Storm sweeping), I'm thinking of ditching it. However, it's current moveset and its decent Attack stat does warrant it as a physical sweeper. But my Butterfree is only a few levels from learning Quiver Dance, and that'll definitely make it a force to be reckoned with. So, based on my team, who supports them better: Serperior or Butterfree?

Hmm.. While Serperior has its merits, Butterfree having quiver dance is far superior (heh "superior" "serperior") However, that isn't to say that skipping out on Serperior is A-OK. Physical Serperior is actually decent and that movepool is adequate (If only it learns aqua tail from move tutor. Work on that Ame!)

But, if you want a special attacker (why though since you have THREE special attackers) go for Butterfree or wait until Contrary's fixed. (Again Ame..)
