Rosa & Serperior

The cheerful fan favorites Rosa & Serperior fit well in most teams thanks to their impressive supportive and tanking abilities, which really improve their allies’ effectiveness against any content currently in the game. As a Sync Pair that can be obtained simply by story progression, they are very much worth investing in at this time due to how well they can boost the performance of any team.

Teamwork

Serperior really shines by making her allies stronger. First things first, her “Time to Energize!” signature move is invaluable since refilling the Move Gauge is vital for both standard offense and running down the Sync Move countdown faster. Secondly, her X Sp. Atk All greatly magnifies most Strike (Special) Damage.

Tough Grass

Serperior’s very high Bulk allows her to “taunt” AI enemy attacks while brushing off most damage pretty easily. This means that, aside from making her Teammates much stronger offensively, Serperior even protects them from enemy aggro.

Lack of Legs

Serperior is one of the best Supports in the game; however, her low Speed stat means she’s unable to quickly boost her Teammates at times. Pairing her with Pokèmon that Boost Speed can fix this problem.

Poor Damage / Short Term Support

Both of her support moves, "Time to Energize!" and X Sp. Atk All are limited to two uses, and once she uses them, there is little further contribution she provides to the party aside from soaking up damage. Her personal damage output is poor, even with Giga Drain. Furthermore, the effect of X Sp. Atk All will likely be removed the moment an opponent uses a Sync Move, as all Sync Moves currently apply the "Normalize All Stats on the Entire Field" effect.

Special Strike

Serperior can make any Pokèmon better through her “Time to Energize!” Move, but she works best when paired with a Strike (Special) Pokèmon that can fully benefit from her Sp. Attack Boosts.
