How about this for size. Just tried this out on my leavanny and it definitely gets the job done competitively since she has great stats for a bug type.

Good damage/High critical hit ratio)- Fell Stinger / Knock Off- Return- Camouflage

Sorry for the long explanation lol but it works.

This is my Leavanny. I like it.

Best known as Regigigas support. It can also help out other Pokemon with poor abilities. Or, think of a powerful Fire type Pokemon with Chlorophyll. Magmortar for example. Leavanny is an incredible Pokemon thanks to Entrainment and Chlorophyll. If you don’t already have a Pokemon that set up Sunny Day, you can also use Leavanny to do that. If you do have such a Pokemon though, use on of the dual screens depending on where your team is weak as well as Life orb. X-Scissor is STAB. Leaf Blade and Razor Leaf are STAB. The choice is between the higher power of Leaf Blade or the multiple Pokemon hitting of Razor Leaf.

Leavanny (F) @ Choice BandAbility: SwarmEVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 SpeJolly Nature- X-Scissor- Leaf Blade- Shadow Claw- Retaliate

Can play revenge and can sweep.X-scissor + Leaf Blade gives some great dual STAB.Shadow claw provides nice coverage.While Retaliate gives you neutral coverage, and a high powered move to come slaughter something with then switch out (Something that Leaf Blade can’t hit neutrally).

Has no one seen that it gets Sticky Web?!

Role: Leadvanny

Leavanny @ Light ClayAbility: OvercoatJolly Nature252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Spe- Reflect- Light Screen- Sticky Web- Knock Off

Sticky Web setter. That’s really it.

That’s my Leavanny [Sun/Moon]

Leavanny @ LeftoversAbility: OvercoatEVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 SpeJolly Nature- Fell Stinger- Leaf Blade- Agility- Aerial Ace

Sun & Moon basically gave Leavanny some very appreciated love. Now Fell Stinger has a workable 50 BP while raising Atk by +3 when Leavenny KOs a Pokemon, making it a great move for a sweeping set.Agility boosts your Spe by +2, letting Leavanny outspeed some common threats with the nice 92 base Speed and Jolly.Leaf Blade for your main hard hitting STAB attack with a boosted critical hit ratio.And Aerial Ace for further coverage.

PraiseTheSun (Leavanny) @ Focus SashNature: JollyAbility: ChlorophyllEVs: 252 ATK, 252 SPEED, 4 SP.DEF-Leaf Blade (STAB)-Steel Wing/Shadow Claw-X-Scissor/Me First-Swords Dance

Leavanny pairs GREAT with Primal Groudon in doubles, as whenever it comes out it summons sun automatically. Unfortunately, Leavanny has terrible coverage, however Primal Groudon covers these weaknesses nicely with Earth Power, Stone Edge, and Eruption. Leavanny is all around a pretty good Pokemon, it even has the same BST as Scizor, but it’s bad typing holds it back.

Role: Sweeper (Possible Sunny Day Set-up)

Leavanny @ Life Orb (Swarm) / Heat Rock (Chlorophyll)Ability: Chlorophyll (Sunny Day) / Swarm (Entrainment)EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 SpeAdamant / Jolly Nature-Leaf Blade-X-Scissor-Swords Dance-Sunny Day/Entrainment

Leaf Blade is STAB with a high critical hit chance. X-Scissor is also STAB and boosted by Swarm. Swords Dance is set-up. The last slot depends on what strategy you want to use. Since Leavanny has 6 weaknesses, 2 of which being ×4, it might not survive the first attack. Leavanny is faster than some, so it could set up a Sunny Day. Entrainment, with Swarm, assuming the target has no Bug-type moves, could cause the opponent to have a useless Ability! Yay!

I’m noticing a suspicious lack of crit machine movesets (my favourite kind of semi-cheese, semi-consistent moveset), so here you go. Watch as your opponents are confused as to why you Leavanny is getting so many crits and call you out for hacking.

Leavanny@Scope LensJolly NatureAbility: SwarmEVs: 252 Atk, 252 Spd, 4 HP

First off, you’ll notice that I have three high-crit moves and a scope lens, hence the fact that this is a crit set. X-Scissor is there because Leavanny learns no other high-crit moves, so a STAB move is the next best thing. Swarm is better than Chlorophyll or Overcoat since this isn’t a sun moveset, Leavanny is already immune to powder and spore moves, and weather damage really isn’t a real issue for the most part. Swarm isn’t great, but it’ll be a factor far more often than the others. Jolly nature was chosen over adamant since you already have a decently high critical hit rate, so more speed with be better than more attack. EVs are standard physical sweeper EVs.
