| Birthplace | Kalos | |
Serena is a Pokemon Trainer hailing from Kalos, debuting in Generation VII of Pokemon as the female protagonist. She is playable in a sense in Stampede Breakfast, though as opposed to battling herself, she uses Pokemon to attack - Charizard, Snivy, Gerdevoir, Lucario, Gengar, Meloetta, Greninja, and Litten.
Attributes[]
Serena's unique ability to use nine characters in one allows for many different positive effects. For instance, the separate characters can be used in conjunction to create a powerful effect, especially since altogether Serena has 34 special moves if the Pokemon Change Combo move and Meloetta's Relic Song down special are excluded. Since all the Pokemon have varying weights, sizes, and statistics, certain Pokemon can be switched to during opprotune moments. For example, if a Pokemon has high damage, Charizard can be switched to since it has the highest weight. Snivy, Gengar, Greninja, and Litten are all good at racking up damage, while Charizard, Gardevoir, Lucario, and Meloetta have decent KO moves. Being a "nine-in-one" character, Serena has aunique characteristic; while the eight Pokemon all share the same damage meter, they each share a different Stamina stat, where they get weaker the longer they are on the stage.
In terms of individual stats, Charizard is the heaviest and arguably strongest Pokemon in Serena's arsenal, and has strong, high-knockback attacks like Flare Blitz and Rock Smash. It is also able to Glide and use five midair jumps. Snivy is the lightest, although it is good at damage racking, and can use Razor Leaf to cover ground. Gerdevoir is a typical "glass cannon" character, possessing powerful attacks, but is quite weak itself. It is also able to reflect projectiles with Reflect. Lucario is unique in that it builds up aura as it gets damaged, making it stronger. It also has a powerful projectile with Aura Sphere, and can counter with Double Team. Gengar is lightweight, although has quick attacks, an dis overall fast in terms of mobility. Meloetta is able to switch between two formes using Relic Song - its starting Aria Forme is a "glass cannon" character similar to Gardevoir, though its Pirouette Forme is quick and powerful. Greninja is overall quick, and has quick and tricky attacks, such as Hydro Pump and Shadow Sneak to match. Lastly, Litten is light, though has among the strongest moves of Serena's Pokemon, with attacks like Incenerate dealing damage.
Overall, Serena has many traits that set herself apart from teh cast, being a "nine-in-one" character, though certain issues such as Stamina bring her down, and make her almost unviable in the competetive scene despite her large playerbase. While some Serena mains like J-Z and Dawgs have been able to claim tournament victories, she has gained close to no favorable results outside of their efforts, leading to her low tier position.

The button combination is down, forward, and up in a half-circular motion, then the special button.
- Super Move: Pokemon Finish - Serena will summon all of her Pokemon at once for them to perform a special move - Charizard and Litten use Fire Blast, Greninja uses Hydro-Pump, Lucario uses Aura Storm, Gardevoir and Meloetta use Perish Voice, and Snivy and Gengar use SolarBeam.
