() is the -type First partner Pokémon of the Unova region, introduced in Generation V. It is the Grass Snake Pokémon, and is the evolved form of Snivy.
 
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Servine is a snake-like Pokémon. The top part of its body is a lush green hue, while its face and plump underbelly are cream-colored. It has a pointed snout and is often grinning smugly. It has reddish eyes with slit pupils, and a yellow leafy collar around its neck that is longer than its pre-evolution Snivy's. Servine has small green leaf-like hands, and two ivy-like leaves sprouting from its back. The end of its tail is tipped with a large leaf. It also has a leafy green and yellow tuft atop its head. Its cream colored legs are thin and short and seem to have shrunk since it evolved, like its arms.
===Special Abilities===
Servine is extremely swift. It confuses its foes with its swiftness, then strikes with its powerful vine whip. It uses photosynthesis to gain energy. 
===Behavior===
Servine is a tidy Pokémon that always keeps itself clean, so as not to dirty its leaves, as it uses photosynthesis to absorb energy.
When it comes to attacking opponents, it prefers using sneak-attack.Though they can stand bipedally, Servine usually move around by slithering on their bellies. They defend themselves from foes with surprising agility, slithering swiftly between the legs of enemies to disorient them before lashing out with their vines. Servine are also known to use the shade of the thick foliage in their habitats to their advantage, hiding in the darkness to avoid attacks.
===Habitat===
Servine are rare in the wild, but live in thickly forested areas, lurking in the shadows of dense foliage.
==Evolution==
Servine evolves from Snivy at level 17 and evolves into Serperior at level 36.

Servine was sent out by N to fight Gigi, who defeated it with much delight. When White attempted to escape from N by falling from the ferris wheel in Nimbasa City, the Servine stays by her side.
==Trivia==
*Despite the fact that Servine's Pokédex entry in Pokémon White describes it as having "masterful whipping techniques," neither it nor its evolution can learn the move Power Whip.
===Origin===
Like its pre-evolution, Servine is based on a green vine snake and possibly the expression "snake in the grass" (someone untrustworthy). As the Generation V starters are based on empires, Servine is likely based on the French (and possibly British) Empire.
===Etymology===
Servine comes from serpent and vine.
Janobī likely comes from 蛇 (ja, snake), 伸び (nobi, stretching), nobility, 忍び (shinobi, stealth), and ivy.
