Attacker

Strategy & play

How Seviper plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.

A Basic — hits the board turn 1 with no evolution tax.
Inflicts Poison — guaranteed chip damage every turn between turns (no coin flip). It stacks with your attack math to cross KO thresholds the attack alone misses.
Inflicts Sleep — they flip each turn to wake, so it’s a coin-flip lock: disruptive but unreliable on its own.
Its main attack (Extra Poison) needs 2 Energy — a turn-2 swing on manual attachment.
Attacks on any Energy (Colorless cost) — splashable into any deck regardless of type.
Grass type, weak to Psychic ×2 — a Psychic attacker doing ≥40 effectively one-shots it.

How to beat Seviper

Exploit its Psychic weakness — ≥40 damage one-shots it.
On the receiving end of a condition? Retreat, switch, or evolve to wipe it — conditions only stick to the Active.

Frequently asked

How can I tell if my Seviper is real?

Seviper is not on our list of commonly-counterfeited cards, but counterfeits exist across every set. Check the back-light test (real cards have a black inner layer that blocks light; counterfeits glow through), the rosette dot pattern on the back under magnification, font weight and kerning on the card name, and the holofoil pattern if applicable. For high-value copies we recommend submitting to a professional grader (PSA, BGS, CGC) for tamper-evident authentication.
