Ash's Leavanny: From Sewaddle to POWERHOUSE | Complete History

[@ProfessorAlexSilver]

Hope everyone enjoys this! I think I'm about ready to start postting every week again. I should have videos for at least the next three weeks, and am hoping to keep the momentum going thereafter. If you have any suggestions for unique video topics or historys that you want me tackle, lmk! I've got a lot of unique history ideas coming up which will be more experimental :)

[@davidanthonymercado7064]

This guy went through a lot in terms of strength and personality. Definitely one of Ash’a most underrated and under appreciated Pokemon.

[@ProfessorAlexSilver]

Much agreed!

[@somechupacabrawithinternet8866]

i remember being angry he was male now he's my idol

[@blacksheep7741]

It's not underrated you got a lot of credit could it train did a little bit more

[@LoneWolf20213]

not me, I personally loved Ashe's leavanny, and of Ashes unova team, it was one of the good pokemon in it other than crokadile which I can confidently say is ashes second best mon if Snivy fully evolved then third but still better than a Dewott if Oshowatte evolved but still

[@castform7]

Leavanny (like most of Ash's Unova Pokemon that weren't starters or Pikachu) suffered greatly from there being way too many members on the team and he was constantly fighting for the two leftover spots not taken up by the 4 Pokemon I mentioned. He had a really fun battle style I especially with the use of String shot and I would've liked to see more of it but alas it's appearances were few and far between.

[@ProfessorAlexSilver]

Most def, but at least Leavanny did more than Palpitoad & Boldore haha

[@bige81892]

Leavanny suffered a fate similar to Ash’s other unova reserves that it had lots of potential that was wasted due to lack of appearances but I think Leavanny showed the most promise out of all of them. I love seeing it grow and mature. It took me back to caterpie/butterfree.

[@ProfessorAlexSilver]

Very similar fate :/ At least it got some dope battles

It was nice that Leavanny was actually a strong battler; he just lacked focus

[@nintendolife25]

While not Ash’s most memorable Pokémon, you have to admire his caretaking personality. I really like the way it cared for Rowlet.

[@thepanelbiter9915]

Ash’s Unova era isn’t remembered fondly, but Leavanny is easily one of the best Pokémon he had. It’s all personality for me.

[@claymathewselevator8121]

Also one of the rare bug types that Misty wasn’t afraid of

[@ProfessorAlexSilver]

Ah, good point!

[@Godzilla00X]

One of Ashs most underrated mons. Great personality, strong battler, excellent focus eps. In a way he reminds me of kingler, a reserve who quickly became an Ace up Ashs sleeve

String Shot really pushed Ash's creativity.

I wish String Shot was as cool and useful in the games as it is in the anime.

[@ProfessorAlexSilver]

Likewise, I love String Shot in the show. It's one of the coolest moves, due to its Spiderman-like use imo. I've thought about doing a whole video on String Shot, but I'm worried noone will want to watch itt haha

[@TheSgtslow]

Honestly Leavanny I've always really liked it. Back when Black, and White first came out I remember while I was in middle school a lot of my Male Classmate were making fun of me for having such a "Girly" Pokemon on my team/liking such a "Girly" Pokemon. Then next week I swept their whole Team with Leavanny, I founded out years later that Leavanny has perfect Atk, and Spd IVs, then it's Atk, and Spd EVs were Maxed out. And it had Sword Dances, Honestly I still thinks it's amazing that it learns Sword Dance from Level Up. It's like Game Freaks way of rewarding the Player for sticking with it.

[@vincejordan532]

This is the reason why I always find and get Leavanny (Sewaddle) for my team up until post game if it's available in game. It's so underrated. I wish the Sewaddle line makes a comeback in Gen 9 DLCs.

[@kinganthony5885]

Congratulation it came back in the dlc 😊

[@drstrange4625]

Swaddle likely didn’t trust ash because he viewed ash trying to befriend it an attempt to catch him thus sewaddle remained distant until ash showed he truely cared for it and not just wanting it to be another member of his team.

[@dragondudeification]

Great Video Professor. I really do feel like Levanny was probably one of Ash's strongest members of his Unova team, next to Krookodile and Pignite. Really felt it needed more screen time and it could've been used in more Gym battles. Mainly against Clay and Elesa.

[@JPJ1608]

By far Ash's most underrated Pokemon (and you can quote me on that!). Whenever people talk about the Unova team, it's always "Krookodile and his band of merry morons" (for understandable reasons, even if I don't fully agree), but Leavanny should also be an exception. The Stephan battle was the only time he didn't get a win in a battle, which is almost unheard of from Ash's 'mons!

[@ProfessorAlexSilver]

Hmmm, I'm not quite sure which of his Pokemon I would consider the most underrated, there is a lot of competition in that regard haha

[@kevinbogdan9301]

I can picture it facing off against a Kricketune. When it returned in Journey's, I was hoping it would've learned Signal Beam. Can you do Ash's Noivern next please?

[@ProfessorAlexSilver]

Thatt'd be a sick battle. I'd be down for Signal Beam as well. Noivern is high on the list, but I'm going to cover a rival mon next week

[@lanhnhusuong8583]

Leavanny (Hahakomori) was one of the few pokemon I like in Unova. He had a lot of potential and yeah he suffered a lot like other Ash's pokemon in Unova

[@TheBrawler456]

I actually like Ash's Leavanny. It was his first (and only) bug type since Heracross in the original series, if the Beedrill he caught doesn't count. Unfortunately, he did get the "Unova Treatment", and got sent to the lab quite often, just due to the sheer number of mons Ash caught in Unova. It's quite a shame, because if we had a team like Palpitoad (who could've potentially evolved into Seismitoad), Krookodile, and Leavanny, Ash's team could've been in real powerful standing.

[@ProfessorAlexSilver]

Heracross too :)

Such an underrated king this amazing bug is 🫡 Always wished he got more screen time (esp. as a Swaddle and Swadloon) - imagine the lil’ dude had a a slight rebellious phase as a Swaddle, an edgy teen phase as a Swadloon and maturing as time went on alongside perfecting his sewing skills after helping w/ Luke’s film, and having an episode dedicated to Ash and Swadloon bonding, evolving, and then we see more of Leavanny’s growth in the Durant episode.

I love leavanny as a Pokémon I even used on on my own team playing Pokémon black since I didn’t pick snivy as my starter leavanny was my go to grass type Pokémon in the black and white games. Also ashs leavanny deserved more time to shine but the writters thought it was easier to work with snivy mainly for her personality and leavanny was stuck in snivys shadow for most of unova.

Great choice for a grass type :-)

[@Dragon_Moth]

As a kid he was my favourite Pokemon from Ash's Unova team

[@axels3188]

I think Ash’s Leavanny was cool and it is his only Bug type that won a Gym battle and it seams that the Anime had finally figured out to handle Ash’s Bugs types as Butterfree did not her significant before it left and Heracross was left at The Lab for. The majority of Ash’s Johto Journey and only did something at the league and from being brought back in The Battle Frontier and The Sinnoh League and I wish Ash got more bug types to make his later teams more diverse than just prepetting Types like Snom as it evolved into Frosmoth from Friendship making it a good pick for Ash’s and do Snivy next.
