Seviper Pokemon Go best moveset for PvP

The best PvP moveset for Seviper in Pokemon Go is Poison Jab with Poison Fang and Crunch.

Poison Jab is a fantastic Fast Move in PvP as it boasts good damage output and energy gains on top of getting STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus) for Seviper. It goes well with Poison Fang, a Charged Move costing only 40 energy and guaranteed to drop the opponent’s Defense by one stage. This handy trick has helped me win battles, even when Seviper was in a tight spot.

In such cases, I’d recommend using Poison Fang and switching out Seviper. Crunch is a great secondary move that has a 30% chance to debuff its target’s Defense by one stage.

Seviper Pokemon Go best moveset for PvE

The best PvE moveset for Seviper in Pokemon Go is Poison Jab and Crunch.

While Crunch lacks STAB, Poison Fang is too weak to be used in Raids. So, Seviper is left with nothing better than the Dark-type Crunch to salvage.

Is Seviper good in Pokemon Go?

No, Seviper is not good in Pokemon Go battles. While it is a rare species with a gorgeous shiny that is undoubtedly a great addition to your Pokedex, its stats and moves are too weak to make an impact.

But, if you are eager to use it, it can help in eliminating Fairy-type targets in the Great League.
