Man, Leavanny using Fell Stinger... I'm getting Pokemon Reborn flashbacks. Shelly's Leavanny has Fell Stinger, and her entire team is built around building advantage from the start to allow her team to sweep, from her fighting you in Doubles to a lead combo with Sticky Web + Prankster Rain Dance (protecting from Fire) -> Tailwind next turn... That Leavanny is just one of the sweepers she has, and it has swept me on more than 1 occasion. She's the THIRD Gym leader too, and yet she remains probably the roughest leader I've fought...
Fell Stinger should be reason #2 to fear Mega Beedrill back in ORAS and USUM. (Reason #1 was the 2 extra spikes, and its overall LARGER-THAN-A-NORMAL-WASP's aerodynamic body) My guy unlocked a DECADE OLD memory of my favorite mega evolution. (IT'S BEEN 10 YEARS SINCE ORAS RELEASED, WTF)
Leavanny is like Leafeon if it was slightly weaker but was slightly faster and had a second STAB. This thing is deceptively solid despite the two 4x weaknesses, but a Swords Dance set is the way I usually run this. Add on the STAB and something like Shadow Claw, and it can put in more work than you’d think
At 10:30, is there any reason you didn't Sucker Punch? You know you're going down to a choice'd T-Bolt, might as well hit the paper thin Electrode for some good damage anyways, right?
Well yeah I saw that too but I think he was just going for style points on the banded first impression cuz it’s more entertaining and he knew he would win anyway is my guess
Probably just in case it's a rare non-choice set going for a move like Reflect/Substitute instead. Knew he had the game in the bag so probably went for the safest option to prevent any sort of reversal.
He was playing around substitute. If electrode knocked out samurott and kept a substitute in tact (by fully paralyzing him with thunder wave), slither wing would be forced to lock into close combat or flare blitz, which electrode could keep using substitute on and potentially knock it out. It's the only way to lose.

I was just recommended one of your videos today and I remembered that I used to watch you back in high school. I looked through the playlists and saw Snakewood and remembered Ballon the evolution of Qwilfish. Man it’s weird how memories like that can stick. Glad to see you’re still around and doing your thing man. I liked the battles back in the day but I always really liked your playthroughs.
The gen 5 bugs aren't even early route because they're only available after the 2nd gym. They kinda follow the late evolution trend of all gen 5 pokemon
I'm new to your channel but I really love how you make pokemon shine and find some unusual strategies! Additionally the voice over works really well with the videos and it's overall greatly made (love the puns too). This gives me more interested in experimenting with competitive strategies
Its werid that people think that Leavany is part of the 'early bug' archetype, meant to teach about evolution early on and and give an early statistical powerhouse. However in the first Unova games you couldnt get the line before the second gym and it evolves after level 20 for the first time, way after the starter. Meaning it doesnt actually qualify as part of the series.
I remember catching one of these with the destiny mark on my birthday and since my naming theme was after Disney characters to any capacity, I named her Rey (from the mid Star Wars)
Would be cool if there was a "liquid sunshine" item that allowed chlorophyll and solar power (probably more sun-abilities) to take effect without the sun active
I just battled a friend in SV over the weekend… and I swept half his team with Leavanny. She OHKO-ed Meowscarada with Fell Stinger first turn, and then went absolutely John Wick on his Empoleon and Ceruledge until his Armarouge finally Armor Cannoned her.
Would love to see Simipour in a video like this!! Simipour is my favorite out of the monkeys and I just want to see it shine for once 🥹 Love your sets too!!
Idk if you've ever seen a defensive espeon, but it's surprisingly good. Run a sun team, have reflect, light screen, morning sun, magic bounce, and have whatever the item is that extends reflect and light screen. Got this set from a shofu b/w wifi battle I saw like 12 years ago, but i figured it'd be a good support mon in modern pokemon. I like to pair this with dragon dance tera fire haxorus, which does big boy damage and since he's fire it can't get burned. Also mold breaker EQ check rotoms. Try it if ur interested. As always since I was a kid, love the vids @Haydunn
Begging you to use offensive Uxie with Tera Fairy, just like your old Hypno set. Been doing damage on showdown. Everyone expects passive Uxie + enough natural bulk to set up a Calm Mind or two. Eat up knock offs with Tera Fairy and drain health with a boosted Draining Kiss. Psyshock to hit on the physical side and Thunderbolt for coverage.
I used to run swarm, sticy web, x scissor, hone claws, grass whistle Leavanny with a focus sash back when those moves were in the game and it was my favorite lead ever! It's such a shame they took away grass whistle. Still doable on nat dex in pshowdown and lunge goes crazy.
Leavanny is lowkey my favorite bug type pokemon, its typing sucks but this is the first time im glad terserialization exists, now i dont have to fear fire types anymore
"Fell Stinger" really does rank high in the "attack names that qualify for Kamen Rider finishing move" tier.
FERU SUTINGAHHH
RIDER STING
Heracross with fell stinger would be the biggest Kamen rider reference
Bug (karate) man beating up (evil in JP) dark type 👀 👽🪲🥋
Haydunn’s casually roasting Pokemon when they faint is my favorite thing
Haydunn got the best one liners
When he said he doubt the Alomomola (that used healing wish) probably didn't wish to be in hell, it had me cracking up.
Seeing leavanny kicking ass makes me happy. Leavanny is a cool bug that's underrated.
Imagine getting stickbugged by a leavanny fell stinger...
leavanny is one thing but i love seeing slither wing get some usage here, such a good design that sadly just doesn't make the cut in most formats
The leavanny tera blasting that excadrill was perfection. It's like you are the player that terrastalization was developed for.

Leavanny is so good in Reborn, carried my mono-bug run even after I got Volcarona and Heracross
No more balloon for you
Which Bug Pokemon has Prankster + Rain Dance?

Honestly love seeing someone use a fully offensive Pawmot instead of revival blessing, it's basically what every romhack wants Electivire to be

I just realized being a member means getting the video early that’s lit as hell lol
IT'S LITERALLY THE BEST PAR OF MY DAY
What’s up?
Only 1 hour early 💀

3:55 Alolan Exeggutor is partially based on what is commonly called a Dragon Tree.

I loved using Leavanny during my playthrough of Pokémon White. I’m happy to see you use it even though it’s not a competitive Pokemon
FINALLY!!! Leavanny gets the love it deserves!!
pleased to announce that this video seems to be reaching the leavanny enjoyers
I've been subbed for like 8 years bro glad you're pushing 400k
Leavanny is so cool! Glad it got featured ❤🍃
Also that last turn with Pawmot was crazyy

fell stinger is the reason why i started giving PTSD to people in FFAs using Krikitune, nobody ever expects it from the technician roach
I think it’s so funny you named your Jumpluff Devil because I named mine Allergesus (allergies + Jesus)
Now I’m imagining how bad it must be for people with allergies in the Pokémon world, all those grass types and food pokemon
THANK GOD we got Haydunn back to refencing the BEST part of gen 9, those grannies in the back

then again, venipede evolves at level 22, and again at lvl 30. Plus- the unova bugs are build different compared to ones like beedrill and stuff
Unovan pokemon evolve lately in general

LMAOO electrode always looks like he knows something that you don’t
Yeah. The Anthony Mackie of the Pokemon world.
I read the title as "THIS Makes Leavanny Better Than You" so I had to check it
Lolll same I was like what???
@@faladodososomeme6739 he was not wrong, just a little rude 🤣
I mean, I don't think I've ever hit +3 Atk at any point in my life
I LOVE LEAVANNY!!!!
Leavanny is my number one favorite pokemon, and I am so glad she got some recognition here ❤
Would be cool if there was a "liquid sunshine" item that allowed chlorophyll and solar power (probably more sun-abilities) to take effect without the sun active
Gasoline
I just battled a friend in SV over the weekend… and I swept half his team with Leavanny.
She OHKO-ed Meowscarada with Fell Stinger first turn, and then went absolutely John Wick on his Empoleon and Ceruledge until his Armarouge finally Armor Cannoned her.
Leavanny Was one of the new pokemon from black and white that became part of my main team.
I can’t wait to see a Slither Wing video, any bug type getting some light just sits right with me lol
Is pivot all the second opponent knows?
Glad u beat him
I was disappointed about the Pawmot not having Revival Blessing first, but it was worth it for that crazy ending lmao
Leavanny in the anime was very adorable
the greedent trainer card picture is so funny
Skipped over the "think" part of the video title and was like "jeez dude, no need to make it personal"
I was quite excited for the potential ditto revival blessing 😂
Finally. A video about my beautiful wife...

I really need a Tinkaton video. I would love to see it-

ditto is so fun! Getting info practically for free and being perfect for anti meta with scarf. Love that lil jelly.
havnt played since gen 4 but ur a beast pumping out these vids
I’ve been using your set for exeggutor and man when it’s done right it just trolls and runs through teams
Yooooo I asked for Leavanny like a week ago! This is one if my favorite bug mons. Thank you sir :)
Thanks, I adore Leavanny one of my top bug types
Grassy terrain and grassy glide would be a nice setup too for Leavanny
Always seeing that Haydunn posted makes my day lol
Really missing the old intro, Haydunn is the reason I got into Hoodie Allen.
I love Leavannys design, easily one of my favorite pokemon. I feel like GameFreak did dirty to its types but seeing this makes me so happy
why not sucker punch the electrode
I thought that but no need ig lol
I’m glad you got the pronunciation right. (LEE-VAN-KNEE)
The way you said it before sounded so weird.
Thank you for the Leavanny love!!!
Yes, someone else is coming around to Leavanny being good 🙇🏼♂️
When I saw the thumbnail, I thought it was a liligant
YEA!!! LEAVANNY EPISODE !!!
When you gotta show them you're not as weak as a leaf:
I like Leavanny, it's very unique as a early bug pokemon.
Sick last turn in the second battle
Maaaaan i love your videos i never cared about Pokemon battles like this before lol
Indeed, the last match was wild!
I love Leavanny to DEATH. Something about Gen 5 bug types
thank you haydunn❤ for another amazing video
Idk but these videos feel relaxing
Bug types are on of my top 3 faves!!!
Haydunn is my favourite PokeTuber by far.
I remember that I liked Leavanny so much that I used mine to beat the elite four.
Man you should definitely do a video on carracosta sturdy/shell smash or swift swim/focus sash/shell smash it can be fun
ur pretty underrated, just subbed!
ARE YOU READING MY MIND???
First the nosepass video now leavanny???
SWEET!! Yet another one my favorites!
37 minutes ago is more terrifying than quick claw
Blud got a sponsor. Congratulations
Leavanny is lowkey my favorite bug type pokemon, its typing sucks but this is the first time im glad terserialization exists, now i dont have to fear fire types anymore
YEES. I love this weird ass mantis
In the first game with the samurott im surprised you didn’t try to sucker punch the electrode
I love the alolan exegutor's strategy, but did you try use a starf berry on him?
I love seeing your vids! Thanks for your hard work!
Nice set. Useful but why you don't want to keep triple axel with flying Terra?
2:18
8:39
Ngl I keep forgetting that Inteleon is fast bc mine never seemed to do anything ever
wow that ending is clutch
Underrated Pokémon ❤
Can we see Swadloon 👀
Weather teams are the best! Try a sand and sun team. It’s a desert team
Oh hey. It's my favourite move.
My boy got them sponsors!
An offensive spidops if it's even possible would be amazing
Miss the old intro. But the Reborn music is damn epic.
Those matches were pretty dog gon wild
Leavanny my beloved
Leaveany reminds me of a Song, "Disco Leaveany" 😂
Leavanny is part of weave nation 😮💨
