'''Snivy''' is the first Pokémon of the Unova [[Pokédex]] (though technically proceeded by its Pokémon number zero [[Victini]]) and is the grass-type Pokémon starter Pokémon for the fifth generation ''[[Pokémon: Black and White Versions]]''. It is the first in a three-stage evolutionary line, with its evolved forms being [[Servine]] and [[Serperior]].

=Information=

Snivy is a Pokémon that resembles a smug snake with arms and legs, as well as a leaf-like formation on the tip of its tail. It is known for being intelligent and calm. They photosynthesize by bathing their tails in sunlight, and their tails droop when they are not feeling well. Being exposed to lots of sunlight makes their movements faster.

Snivy evolves into [[Servine]] at Level 17.

=Appearances=

==Mainstream Games==

In ''[[Pokémon: Black and White Versions]]'', Snivy is one of the three starter Pokémon sent to the player's house in Nuvema Town by [[Professor Juniper]] at the beginning of the game which the player has to choose from. If the player chooses a different starter Pokémon, the Snivy goes to [[Cheren]] (if [[Oshawott]] is chosen) or [[Bianca]] (if [[Tepig]] is chosen).

==Other Games==

Snivy appeared in ''[[Pokémon Rumble Blast]]'' where it could be befriended at the Beginner's Park, the forest areas of Trailhead Field and Echo Valley, and the autumnwood area of Volcanic Slope. Snivy was also featured in ''[[PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond]]'' as one of the main playable characters (with the other options being [[Pikachu]] and the other two fifth generation starters), where its special ability was to double jump by using Leaf Tornado, and it is the third character to appear. This female Snivy meets Pikachu and Oshawott in the Arbor Area and is referred to by others as Princess Snivy.

==Video Games==

*In the ''[[Portal: Super Smash Bros.|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series, Snivy appeared from ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]'' on as one of the Pokémon that could be summoned at random from the [[Poké Ball]] item. When summoned, Snivy would attack with Razor Leaf in a manner similar to [[Chikorita]] in previous games. It also appeared as a trophy in the 3DS/Wii U game.

==Other Media==

*In the ''Black''/''White'' series of the Pokémon anime, Snivy has been shown as the starter Pokémon of the new rival character Trip, who was able to defeat Ash's veteran [[Pikachu]] with the Pokémon freshly received from Professor Juniper, although this was partly due to Pikachu's electric attacks being temporarily disabled by [[Zekrom]]. It surprisingly evolved into Servine within five episodes, before Ash's group even reached the first gym. Ash later caught a wild Snivy in an episode which revolved around the female Snivy using Attract to keep Ash's primarily male Pokémon from attacking her until Ash used his [[Pidove]], which was of the same gender. Ash's Snivy has been shown to be mature but emotionally withdrawn with an unknown past.
*In the ''Pokémon Adventures'' manga, Snivy was shown as [[Cheren]]'s starter Pokémon during the ''Black''/''White'' arc, and [[Bianca]] chose it for him because she believed that it resembled him. The three starter Pokémon were particularly quarrelsome towards each other and were known to roughhouse when left to their own devices.

=Trivia=

*Its name is a combination of "snake" and "ivy".
