Funny that you say that, because you didn't say a thing about movepools in your last post. Let's avoid shifing goalposts, please. Either way, a Pokemon's variety in its movepool has little to do with its typing and almost everything to do with what GameFreak thinks fits it thematically. Donphan, Electivire and Eelektross are mono-type, but have insanely good offensive coverage lists. Venusaur is dual-typed, but has coverage almost as crappy as Serperior. In fact, the ONLY Poison type move it learns naturally in Gen 6 is lol-Poison Powder. You have to teach it Sludge Bomb via a TM. Serperior learns two Poison type moves via level up. ;)

It was implied as Serperior is well known for being a huge disappointment since despite it's amazing looks it has a terrible movepool, which of course includes TMs and egg moves.

Yeah, in 2010...
But this is 2016, and now Serperior is very popular not only on Battlespot, but on battle simulators like Showdown as well. It's in Smogon's OU (overused) tier now: http://www.smogon.com/dex/xy/pokemon/serperior/
Wondering why it's so popular now? Hint: it only involves a single move in its learnset, not some expansive movepool...
