Why does Seviper have such a slow exp growth?

Nov. 25, 2013



1,640,000 exp is insane. It’s not like he’s OP or anything. His base total stats is only 458.

The second experience group introduced in Generation III, and a directopposite to the Erratic group, the Fluctuating experience groupcontains the Pokémon which grow the slowest of all, reaching level 100with a whopping 1,640,000 experience points.

Fluctuating isthe exact oppositeof Erratic. Seviper’s rival Zangoose is in the Erratic group. This is one reason behind its growth rate.

Also Zangoose and Seviper were both introduced in Gen 3, the same time as the growth rates Fluctuating and Erratic. I think GameFreak wanted to make the two Pokemon as opposite as possible, including their growth rates.
