Serperior's great Speed and decent bulk make it an effective dual screens setter. It's greatly enabled by a lack in variety and number of viable Defog users in conjunction with being able to take advantage of Defog with Contrary. Leaf Storm and Contrary together make Serperior an offensive threat on its own, and it can even take advantage of its own dual screens to potentially sweep. Glare hinders checks to Serperior, such a as Heatran and Skeledirge, making them easier for Serperior's teammates to overwhelm. Tera Electric grants an immunity to paralysis, potentially enabling Serperior to overwhelm Tinkaton, Cobalion, and other paralysis spreaders. Serperior also appreciates a Flying resistance against Tornadus-T, as if it has accumulated enough boosts from Leaf Storm, it can overpower Tornadus-T on the attempted revenge kill. However, Serperior generally is better off not Terastallizing, as its offensive teammates will benefit much more from doing so.

Dual screens Serperior supports hyper offense teams by giving setup sweepers better opportunities to start sweeping. Frailer teammates like Lokix, Weavile, and Revavroom appreciate being able to take an extra hit thanks to Serperior's dual screens. Serperior particularly appreciates teammates like Excadrill and Greninja that can overwhelm the Fire-types like Heatran and Skeledirge that it cannot beat on its own. Rotom-W is an issue for many of these aforementioned Pokemon, and Serperior excels at checking it. Quaquaval is a standout partner for Serperior, as it benefits from dual screens for setting up, threatens Fire-types, appreciates Serperior checking Rotom-W, and handles problematic foes like Scizor and Weavile. Entry hazard support from the likes of Tinkaton, Deoxys-S, and Sandy Shocks can enable Serperior to sweep, and hazards are especially effective at helping Serperior's setup teammates to start snowballing when they're behind Serperior's dual screens.

Year of the Snake! This was very well done, just a minor nitpick or two

Glare hinders checks to Serperior, such a Heatran and Skeledirge, making them easier for Serperior's teammates to overwhelm. Contrary itself can punish foes such as Mandibuzz for using Defog. I think this section could be reworded and put up in the opening sentence - this is what makes Serperior such a capable screens setter so something like "and its greatly enabled by the lack of viable Defog users, in conjunction with being able to take advantage of it thanks to Contrary." Tera Electric grants a paralysis immunity, potentially enabling Serperior to overwhelm Tinkaton, Cobalion, and other paralysis spreaders. Serperior also appreciates a Flying resistance against Tornadus-T if it has accumulated enough boosts from Leaf Storm to overpower it while it tries to revenge kill Serperior. However, Serperior generally is better off not Terastallizing, as its offensive teammates will benefit much more from doing so.

Serperior particularly appreciates teammates like Excadrill and Greninja that can overwhelm the Fire-types like Heatran and Skeledirge that it cannot beat on its own. Rotom-Wash is an issue for many of these aforementioned Pokemon, and Serperior excels at checking it. Quaquaval is a standout partner for Serperior, as it benefits from dual screens for setting up, threatens Fire-types, appreciates Serperior checking Rotom-Wash, and handles problematic foes like Scizor and Weavile. I would also mention hazard support from the likes of Tinkaton, Deo-S, or Sandy Shocks, seeing as though Serp is most commonly found on HO sweepers love the support combination this gives as well as Serperior itself loving the extra chip to sweep for itself.
