Servine Evolutions
Partway through Snivy's chain. Servine still has another evolution ahead before reaching Serperior. For breeding, average hatch time with a massive partner pool via two egg groups. Defense has grown the most so far (+20), but there's still another 115 stats to gain in the final evolution. View every chain in the Evolution Chart.
How to Evolve
Breeding
Breed with Servine to get Snivy eggs easily using 218 partners from the Ground and Plant egg groups. Notable egg moves include Captivate, Glare, Grassy Terrain and 8 more.
USUM Servine Best Moveset
60 Sp. Atk at 83 Speed with AbilityContrary as a hidden ability. MoveLeaf Storm boosts Sp. Atk under Contrary but mid-stage power cannot threaten. The moveset approaches the Serperior identity without the stats. One evolution away from S-tier.
Best Build
Servine best EVs are Sp. Atk and Speed
Support Moveset
- Leaf Storm
- Glare
- Synthesis
- Hidden Power Fire
Moves List
Breeding opens up real options for Servine. Captivate and Glare come exclusively from egg moves, and they're worth the effort. The rest of the kit covers basics through Leaf Storm and Solar Beam and coverage across 7 types.

Base Stats
Servine Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Guide
Servine is meant to evolve into Serperior. At 413 BST, the stats aren't there for competitive play yet. Pre-evolution Pokemon rarely hold up against fully evolved threats.
Contrary is what you want on Servine. Every competitive set worth running is built with that ability in mind. The alternatives (Overgrow) work on paper but Contrary is what makes Servine worth using.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Contrary is the hidden ability. It inverts stat changes. Worth hunting for if you want Servine to compete at a higher level.
Base 83 Speed is workable. Faster than some, slower than many. On offense, Servine is a special attacker with base 60 Sp. Atk. Defensively? Enough bulk to take a hit or two. Best used as a support.
Game Availability
Servine joined the series in Black & White and has been available in 7 titles so far. With 6 generations of appearances, it's established itself despite the later start.
