Zangoose Or Seviper!

Well title says it all, Zangoose was ruby only. Seviper was Sapphire only. (Or the other way round? XD)

But the real question is who do you like more?

Going with Zangoose. Great stats, great design and great moves made it a solid choice for me.

Zangoose is always a great choice when you are playin the game. Early game pickup is so crazy.

During Emerald there was a Beauty Jessica with a wickedly powerful Seviper who was easily rematchable... so I suppose Seviper.

I have always liked Zangoose better. I am not a huge fan of snakes (although I kinda like Seviper a bit as well) but I like cat ferrets, so Zangoose is my choice.

Zangoose has a boring design imo, and I'm not into normal pokemon that much. Seviper has always been my fave, it's cooler and meaner.

I've never been a big fan of either of them, but I do prefer Seviper. The only reason is that Jessie's Seviper was with her when I first started watching the anime.

Let's go to the beach, each.
Seviper simply because I liked its design. I thought Zangoose looked kind of boring, but I still went through the trouble of buying Ruby version to get one for Pokedex purposes lol.

Originally I liked Zangoose better but now that I like the more unique Pokemon (well generally) and have thought about Seviper I do like it more. Same goes with Shiftry and Ludicolo. Loved Shiftry, watched the anime found out how cool and unique Ludicolo kinda was and liked him more.

Seviper is one of the coolest Poison types in my opinion. Zangoose isn't bad but between these two I'll go with Seviper hands down.

I love both of them, but I find Seviper's design to be a tad more interesting than Zangoose's. I've never used a Seviper, really (Ruby player here) but I remember going against one in-game and it was pretty tough. Zangoose is tough as well with its Attack stat. The wild Zangoose that you battle have Swords Dance and they can wipe out your team if you're training in the area and aren't careful. x.x

I would definitely have to go with Seviper. I mostly like it better because it's Poison type whereas Zangoose is just Normal-type. Seviper an learn Toxic and other poisoning moves that give it a clear advantage over zangoose.

Zangoose. It just looks like something that could easily tear in half anything that crosses its path.

Also, that "M" on its chest reminds me of Dragonball Z, which is never a bad thing.

If we're talking in-battle, my choice remains the same. Seviper is an extremely dull Pokemon when it comes to stats, abilities, and moves. I find Zangoose much more viable.

Seviper all the way >:)
 
Zangoose. I've never really been keen on Seviper.
