Leavanny Guide
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, 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 attacker on our tier list. Leafblade with Life Orb is the standard set.
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, 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 physical attacker with base 103 Attack. 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 attacker role.
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, the best way to handle Leavanny: Faster attackers outpace it. Anything with a super-effective STAB move and decent speed can revenge kill.
