Arbok commonly holds Choice Band (if you ever see an Arbok to begin with). With that said, a Neutral 252 Atk CB Arbok strikes first and deals 129.97% - 152.96% damage to 0 Def/HP Neutral Seviper. That's on the first turn. :x With Life Orb, it's still an OHKO at 113.24% - 133.10%. Without a specified item, it has a small chance of OHKOing Seviper with damage at 87.11% - 102.44%.

Assuming 252 Atk Positive Seviper survives the blow, it strikes back with Earthquake. Normally it would OHKO at 104.60% - 122.99%, but we have to factor in Arbok's Intimidate. After that, it becomes 70.11% - 82.38% only, falling short of an OHKO. This gives a chance for Arbok to strike next and knock Seviper out.

Arbok wins. :>

I like Seviper more though. XD There's just something just really likeable about it.

Unlike your last two polls, I can't recall their base stats off the top of my head, so I just voted for my favorite, Seviper.

However, Cherii has proven yet again that she spends too much time analyzing this stuff and has proven the contrary. XD

Seriously, do you memorize these things or do you use a reference like Smogon? :P

The answer is clearly Seviper. After all, Arbok evolves into it: what kind of Pokemon gets beaten by its pre-evolution?

As proved by cherii, Arbok may win. But I voted for seviper coz I don't like Arbok and Seviper is at least better looking that Arbok. So Arbok wins here for me...

Seviper of course
1.it looks cooler
looks aren't everything but I'm sorry if you seen the red eyed viper well......
2. its stats
technically seviper is better because of its stats but also because of its move set. I mean poison fang with those fangs XD plus its speed is high and evd well what can I say
why arbok wins
1.its not as rare
because you can get ekans easier than seviper it makes it a good poison type to use if you desperatly need one. there are better poison out there e.g nidoking
2.
in gen one it was strong but as the franchise grew and more pokemon came it sunk to a lowly one
seviper was introduced later with a better move set. Arbok is good just not as good as it was

overall I pick seviper for reasons. I don 't have anything against arbok
cherii has a point

Not true that was an error that the show made.
I believe the error is with YOU, good sir.

Also, Seviper's winning in the poll.

Just a funny thought. Which is better, in any way you can think of. Just, you know, give a definite reason for your choice. Me, i like Arbok, simply because of its hood and it was my favourite red/blue pokemon

My apologies everyone - i didnt know there was another thread like this already active (bashing head right now if you wanna know) so please, disregard this poll and go to the fine one here...
again, sorry

In a competitive battle Arbok, but in over all looks, Seviper takes the cake with that fierce tail.
