Well, Serperior doesn't have pitiful attack stats, its attack stats are average. It has high speed and high defense. Emboar may have high attack, but it has bad defenses and equally bad speed, which means super-effective attacks will hit it before it has a chance to do anything. Serperior could at least get some hits in before going down.

Heck, I'd use Mudkip before I used a Tepig.
