Stats & Training
Nothing fancy in Leavanny's spread. It leans physical with Attack out front. And you'll get 3 Attack EVs per KO for it. Follows a 1.06M XP medium-slow curve.
Upon finding a small Pokémon, it weaves clothing for it from leaves by using the sticky silk secreted from its mouth.
It keeps its eggs warm with heat from fermenting leaves. It also uses leaves to make warm wrappings for Sewaddle.

Leavanny 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 leaning toward the physical side (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 pivot role.
For Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, the core moveset is Sticky Web, Toxic, Bugbuzz, and Hiddenpowerpsychic. Sticky Web leads at 22% usage. This set covers the pivot role with a mix of damage and utility.
