Why is Serperior so much better than the other gen 5 starters?

Because the other starters from Gen 5 are complete garbage. It's not difficult to be better than them.

Sleek design and Contrary. Sure, it's a one trick pony, but that's better than what the other 2 have.

When a starter is absurdly better than the other two its usually because of an ability.

It's the best competitively because of Contrary. The other two have better designs though, even with Samurott's weird leg thing going on. Serperior's design is just trash.

It's true though. The Gen V starters all have pretty mediocre designs, but Serperior's is the worst.

It's true. It doesn't even have actual vines on, just a green pattern and a couple of leaves. It looks like it gave up half way through molting, and painted its skin with a grass pattern.

Also its huge anime eyes are ugly as fuck.

Is Serperior really that bad in game?

I have a habit of playing canon starters, and since Bianca's is Emboar, Hilbert's would be Samurott. I just finished BW with it and it was a fine starter. Pulled its weight through the whole game, and OHKOd Alder's Volcarona.

Nate's canon starter is Emboar, which is a fucking abomination, so that only leaves Rosa with Serperior. Can it hold its own or am I better off just boxing it?

It isn't bad for a starter stat-wise. The real issue is that, like most Grass types in general, it has a shallow movepool and an awful defensive type while having defense oriented stats.

Of course none of this remotely matters if you mean you only care about the overworld AI because everything's viable.

Competitively, no. Design? It blows the other two out of the water. This official image is enough to highlight that a samurai-styled sea lion is aesthetically better than a peeled banana snake and a giant piece of ham cooking itself.
