Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Serperior 7-Star Raid Guide: Counters & Weaknesses

Serperior is the latest 7-Star Star Tera Raid boss in , and it has certain weaknesses that must be exploited with the right counters if you want to beat it. The Regal Pokémon is the third Unova-region starter to get their turn in 7-Star Tera Raids, where you can defeat it in exchange for a bunch of rewards and the opportunity to catch it.

Leaf Storm will be its strongest attack, even more so when combined with its Hidden Ability, Contrary.
