Is Leavanny Good in Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Playthrough?

Bug/Grass with decent Attack and Speed. Handles Olivia with Grass and Nanu with Bug. Four-times Fire weakness is brutal against Kiawe and any Fire coverage at the E4. Useful in specific matchups, dangerous in others.

Leavanny Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Guide

  • In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Leavanny looks average on paper at 500 BST. But Chlorophyll is why it sees play. Build around that and it pulls its weight. C-Tier pivot on our tier list. Sticky Web with Focus Sash is the standard set.

  • In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Leavanny's biggest threats include Blaziken (Fire), Salamence (Flying), and Walrein (Ice), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Blaziken is the most dangerous since Fire moves deal 4x damage. Poison, Bug, and Rock-type attackers are also a problem. With 6 weakness types, most competitive teams carry at least one counter.

  • Leavanny gets Chlorophyll, Swarm, and Overcoat. But Chlorophyll is the one that matters. It's the centerpiece of every viable set. Build around that.

  • Leavanny is a special attacker with base 70 Sp. Atk. Enough bulk to take a hit or two, too. Speed tells the real story. Base 92 Speed is workable. Faster than some, slower than many. Fits the pivot role.

  • For Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, the core moveset is Sticky Web, Toxic, Bugbuzz, and Hiddenpowerpsychic. Sticky Web leads at 0% usage. This set covers the pivot role with a mix of damage and utility.

Game Availability

Since Black & White, Leavanny has been obtainable in 7 games. A Generation 5 debut means a shorter history, but Leavanny has appeared steadily across every generation since.
