Leaf Storm Contrarian Serperior will be excellent enough by itself. Giving it an actual movepool will be overkill.
I hate to be the one to say it, but that simply isn't enough. Unboosted Serperior doesn't hit hard at all, and Grass has a whole bunch of resistances so there's a lot of Pokémon who could take the first or even second Leaf Storm on the switch and force Serperior out. Heatran, for example, is having none of it.
Serperior really needs a more diverse movepool for Contrarian to be more than a cool sounding gimmick.
Serperior would be broken because it would have Contrary with Leaf Storm and Draco Meteor, if it were Grass / Dragon.
It'll never see play in a standard metagame because of all the grass resist with Dragon and Steel types everywhere. But in Under Used it could be pretty powerful. Chansey can't put an end to it because of the power build up, and more offensive switch ins like Chandelure who resist Leaf Storm are still 2HKOed by Choice Specs (+0 first turn, +2 next turn). And with Serperior being pretty quick, it will usually be able to pull off a second Leaf Storm against most offensive enemies save Choice Scarf.
And in the end, it can blast holes in Grass resit walls to open up a Venasaur / Roserade / Somethingsomething sweep.

Yeah.
That could also be stated, yes.
Should have been Druddigon.

How about a steel/dragon? Though that seems like it'd be a bit much...

Dragon was served very well by Gen V.
Not as well as Ghost, but still.

Ack, I forgot about Dialga. Sorry.
If Tropius was grass/dragon, would people use it?

Probably not, he'd be around Altria's tier. Bulky Dragon that doesn't hit as hard as the others, and a secondary typing that doesn't help against Dragon's primary 'counter', Steel.

Always thought Giratina was the best legendary from Gen 4. Origin Forme that is. It needed a hug.
Still love Kyogere as the best looking legendary.

Of these, Kyurem is my favorite, slightly edging out Mew.

And, of these, it goes Lugia > Mewtwo > Victini = Jirachi > Darkrai.

Looking at the legends again I think they dropped the ball quite a bit design wise after Gen 3 legends (I'm looking at you Gen4! Quantity over quality in full force), even then Gen 3 bunch isn't all that great, I just really like the box legendaries.

Kyurem doesn't get enough love.
Ice dragon is gonna freeze your face off, especially when it gets a new form in Gray.

Reshiram is pretty fucking awesome... except on the Black boxart.

Do I see a furry dick sticking out? Oh my.
Well, its current form is ugly. I can't love it until it gets its new form.

It's an asymmetric frozen chicken... thing. Even Reshiram looks more appealing. It sucking in battle doesn't help.

This page is reminding me just how bad the designs have gotten for the legendary pokemon. Not all but most of them are garbage.
with kyurems lore, a new form is a foregone conclusion.
Yeah, but don't forget to humour GF and act shocked when they announce it.
Stop setting fire to my fav.
