Leavanny
Abilities
MetaMons competitive notes
Leavanny is a bug/grass-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Attack — at 500 BST it is a strong total for competitive play, with above-average speed (base 92) and a physical attacking profile. Its Swarm ability matters more than the raw numbers when it hits the field: check what it does before deciding between a sweeper, pivot, or support role for Leavanny. Build around what Leavanny actually threatens, not its in-game lore — start from its weaknesses and strongest STAB moves, then decide whether its Speed, bulk, or coverage justifies a team slot.
