From the lands of Untiered, this humble bug manages to find a home sweet home all the way in OU! Leavanny has recently carved a very tiny (much like itself) niche in the metagame as sun teams' own Sticky Web setter, giving the archetype's usual wallbreakers like Walking Wake and Great Tusk more freedom for offensive Protosynthesis boosts while also letting more niche choices like Ceruledge to truly shine, as they can now get the jump on otherwise troublesome faces like Iron Valiant, Zamazenta, and Darkrai. By zooming past the entire unboosted metagame and everything up to +1 Iron Valiant thanks to Chlorophyll, Leavanny can make use of its surprising offensive movepool to still keep up the pressure after setting the entry hazard. Its Leaf Storm dispatches Great Tusk to prevent its Rapid Spin and, when paired with Eject Pack, provides valuable momentum and positioning for an archetype that desperately needs to maximize each turn. This is further supported by its coverage in Low Kick and Triple Axel, letting it handle staples such as Kingambit, Kyurem, Dragapult, and Dragonite. Tera Ghost helps spinblock Iron Treads and Terastallized Great Tusk while doing double duty in avoiding Dragonite's Chlorophyll-ignoring Extreme Speed.
