I don't see how Samurott can be considered "balanced". It doesn't have good defenses at all, and rather mediocre offensive stats. I'm quite happy with my Serperior, as he takes hits well, and with access to Coil, he can dish out some pretty heavy hits. He's better than a lot of people give him credit for.
