This tail can perform photosynthesis, allowing Snivy to move more quickly and adding an edge to its moves. However, the tail will begin to droop when Snivy loses energy. Snivy can use its vines with incredible adaptive and dexterity skills, to make up for having short arms. This Pokémon has a calm, collected demeanor and is very intelligent. Snivy prefers to be alone and avoid groups whenever it can. It has been recently seen living in the [[Terarium]] of [[Blueberry Academy]]. | This tail can perform photosynthesis, allowing Snivy to move more quickly and adding an edge to its moves.

Snivy (Japanese: ツタージャ Tsutarja) is a Grass-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V.
It evolves into Servine starting at level 17, which evolves into Serperior starting at level 36.
Along with Tepig and Oshawott, Snivy is one of the three first partner Pokémon of Unova available at the beginning of Pokémon Black, White, Black 2, and White 2.
Biology
Snivy is a bipedal, reptilian Pokémon with a slender build. Most of its body is green with a cream underside. A yellow stripe runs down the length of its back and tail and has yellow markings around its large eyes. Two curved yellow structures that resemble leaves or small wings protrude from its shoulders and bend backward. Its slender arms have three fingers, while its tiny feet have no digits. It has a large, palmate leaf with three prongs on the end of its tail.
This tail can perform photosynthesis, allowing Snivy to move more quickly and adding an edge to its moves. However, the tail will begin to droop when Snivy loses energy. Snivy can use its vines with incredible adaptive and dexterity skills, to make up for having short arms. This Pokémon has a calm, collected demeanor and is very intelligent. Snivy prefers to be alone and avoid groups whenever it can. It has been recently seen living in the Terarium of Blueberry Academy.
Evolution
Snivy evolves into Servine, which evolves into Serperior.
(For specifics on this Pokémon's Evolution in the games, refer to Game data→Evolution data.)

Major appearances
Trip's Snivy
Snivy debuted in In The Shadow of Zekrom!, where Professor Juniper gave it to Trip as his first partner Pokémon. He was able to defeat Ash's Pikachu with Leaf Tornado in a battle they had, due to Pikachu being unable to use Electric-type attacks at the time. Eventually, when Ash and Trip met again in A Rival Battle for Club Champ!, his Snivy had evolved into Servine.
Ash's Snivy
Ash's Snivy debuted in Snivy Plays Hard to Catch!. She knows Attract, much to the dismay of Ash, who kept trying to catch her, but would fail because most of his team was male. She was defeated by Pidove due to both of them having the same gender, and Ash successfully caught her.

- Main article: N's Snivy
Snivy is featured as one of the first partner Pokémon in Professor Juniper's lab. While talking on the phone to Fennel, Tepig spilled some Berry Juice on Snivy, causing him to fight with Tepig. Eventually, Oshawott joined in on the commotion until the three first partner Pokémon had managed to make a mess of her office, after which Juniper returned them to their Poké Balls, commenting that she was worried that the three might be too much for their future Trainers. Snivy was given to Cheren by Bianca because she thought he resembled him. He first appeared in Fussing and Fighting.
Professor Cedric Juniper's Snivy was supposed to be given to new Trainers but was liberated by N. Snivy went with N, and evolved into a Servine while with N, and was then given to White. She first appeared in The Case of the Missing Pokémon.

Other appearances
Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U
Snivy appears as a Pokémon released from a Poké Ball in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U. When released, it uses Razor Leaf, a move that it cannot legally learn.
Snivy also appears as a trophy in both versions of the game.
Trophy information
NA: Along with Ekans and Onyx[sic], this Pokémon is considered to be a snake Pokémon, even though it has two legs. When it evolves into Serperior, however, it sheds those legs. In Smash Bros., Snivy unleashes Razor Leaf on fighters, sending sharp leaves flying and damaging anything in range.
PAL: Like Ekans and Onix, Snivy is known as a snake Pokémon. Unlike those Pokémon, it has two legs. When it eventually evolves into Serperior, though, it loses them. It attacks using Razor Leaf, which sends super sharp leaves flying into fighters in front of it, potentially hitting them over and over again.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Snivy returns as a Pokémon summoned from the Poké Ball, retaining its behavior from the previous game.
As the Player
PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond
Snivy appears as one of the player characters in PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond. She is the daughter of Queen Serperior, which makes her Princess of the Arbor Area. Much to her mother's dismay, she is quite rambunctious and prefers playing and getting dirty than being elegant and proper. Upon hearing of Pikachu and Oshawott's task to save the PokéPark, she helps them to open the portal in the Arbor Zone, on the condition that they take her with them. Her special skill is the ability to jump higher than the other player characters.
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series
Snivy is also playable in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity. The player may either choose to be transformed into Snivy, or have the partner be one. The same also applies to Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon.
Trivia
- Snivy and the other Black and White first partner Pokémon were first revealed as silhouettes on the May 9, 2010 episode of Pokémon Sunday. They were later revealed in full in the June 2010 issue of CoroCoro.
- Shortly after its release, much like many other Generation V Pokémon newly introduced, Snivy received the fan-made moniker, "Smugleaf". This name was picked up on and published in an article on the video gaming-focused blog Kotaku and later in an issue of Official Nintendo Magazine Australia and New Zealand, as well as its United Kingdom counterpart.
- Snivy is the only Grass-type first partner Pokémon that is not listed as the first Pokémon in its regional Pokédex, although it is still marked as #001; this is because Victini, the Pokémon before it, has a Pokédex number of #000. It is also the only Grass-type first partner Pokémon that is not the first Pokémon of its generation in National Pokédex order.
- Snivy has the lowest base stat total of all Grass-type first partner Pokémon.
- In Pokémon Black and White, Snivy, along with Tepig and Oshawott, has the lowest experience yield of all Pokémon, with a base value of 28. This was done specifically for the first two battles of the games, so the player's first partner Pokémon wouldn't level up after defeating Bianca and thus have a level advantage over Cheren.
- From Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 onward, their base experience yield was raised to 62 to bring them in line with the other first partner Pokémon in the series.
- Snivy was designed by Reiko Tanoue.[1]
Origin
Snivy is based on a snake. Designer Reiko Tanoue mentioned that the idea for Snivy's design came from a picture book which mentions snakes that have the appearance of vines;[1] the specific snake may be the vine snake, tree snake, or green snake. Unlike real snakes, Snivy was designed with arms and legs to make it appear non-threatening, so as to not put off players; it gradually becomes more snake-like as it evolves.[2] Additionally, some of Snivy's features may be inspired by legless lizards, grass lizards, Asian grass lizards, or skinks. The shape of Snivy's head, body, and the protrusions on its shoulders may be based on the bird of paradise or false bird of paradise flowers.
Ken Sugimori has said that Snivy, Servine, and Serperior are based on Western culture, specifically mentioning the manga series The Rose of Versailles as an inspiration.[1][2] Snivy, Tepig, and Oshawott's evolutionary lines are collectively based on Western, Chinese, and Japanese culture respectively, to represent the diversity of the Unova region.[2]
Name origin
Snivy may be a combination of snake and ivy. It may also involve snide, sly, snark (a snide remark), or snicker (a sly or snide laugh).
Tsutarja is a combination of 蔦 tsuta (Japanese creeper) and 蛇 ja (snake).[3]
