Trainer Tips

Servine is a Grass-type Pokemon with a stat total of 429. With its bulk spread of 152 Defense and 155 Stamina, Servine has solid survivability in battles.

Watch out for Bug, Fire, Flying, Ice, Poison-type moves when using Servine. These types deal super effective damage that can cut into Servine's performance.

Verdict

Collector's Pick
Servine is a Grass-type Pokemon with base stats of 122/152/155 (Atk/Def/Sta) and a max CP of 1,629. While it doesn't currently rank among the top raid attackers or PvP contenders, every Pokemon has its place in a trainer's collection. Servine may shine during specific events, in limited-format cups, or when new moves are added in future updates. For now, hold onto a good IV specimen but save your Stardust and Candy for more impactful investments unless you're a dedicated fan of this Pokemon.

Shadow vs Regular: Shadow Servine deals 20% more damage but takes ~20% more. For raids, Shadow is generally the better investment. For PvP, evaluate matchups carefully — the bulk loss can be significant.
