Leavanny is a bipedal insect-like Pokémon that was introduced in the fifth generation games. It is the third and final phase of Sewaddle's evolutionary line.

Information

Leavanny evolves from Swadloon when it levels up with a high amount of happiness. They are known as being very motherly Pokémon, apparently regardless of gender. Leavanny use fermenting leaves to keep their eggs warm. After their eggs hatch into Sewaddle, they make warm wrappings for it from nearby leaves. They have also been known to weave clothing for any small Pokémon that they come across. Leavanny uses the cutters on its arm and sticky silk in order to weave these clothes.
