===History===

[[File:Ash Sewaddle.png|thumb|left|250px|As a Sewaddle]]

Leavanny first appeared as a Sewaddle while {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr}} were in [[Pinwheel Forest]]. He randomly attacked [[Ash's Pikachu]], and Ash tried to catch him, but was not successful, since Sewaddle ran away. He later reappeared and knocked Ash to the ground when the trio met [[Burgh]], the Gym Leader of the [[Castelia Gym]], who revealed that he was accompanying Sewaddle through the forest, even though he was not his Pokémon. When Ash and his friends tried to say hello to Sewaddle by using the two sensory knobs on the top of his head, he Tackled Ash, while he kindly said hello to {{an|Iris}}, Pikachu, {{TP|Iris|Axew}} and Burgh. Ash, {{an|Iris}} and Burgh then followed Sewaddle throughout the forest, watching him eating, as well as watching his sleeping habits.

In ''[[BW106|Strong Strategy Steals the Show!]]'', Ash used Leavanny as his third Pokémon in his battle against [[Stephan]] during the [[Vertress Conference]], sending him out against [[Stephan's Sawk]]. Although Leavanny was able to avoid Sawk's initial attempts of {{m|Close Combat}} and {{m|Karate Chop}}, as well as hit him with his new X-Scissor attack and capturing Sawk with String Shot but failing due to Sawk being powered up by {{m|Bulk Up}}, Sawk soon gained the upper hand by using {{m|Low Sweep}}, lowering Leavanny's speed and preventing him from dodging a barrage of Close Combat's which caused serious damage on Leavanny. This, however, caused Leavanny's Swarm Ability to activate, giving him a big power boost on his {{type|Bug}} moves. Using this new power, he launched a String Shot on Sawk in which Sawk was unable to break, even with Bulk Up, he then used a lot of powered up X-Scissor attacks on Sawk, but Stephan used this to his advantage by having Sawk use it to break the threads, then, after a hard-fought battle, Leavanny was finally brought down by a Bulk Up-powered Karate Chop from Sawk.

In ''[[BW123|Farewell, Unova! Setting Sail for New Adventures!]]'', [[Professor Juniper]] sent Leavanny to [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] before Ash left for [[Kanto]], touring through the [[Decolore Islands]]. Ash called upon Leavanny in ''[[BW130|Butterfree and Me!]]'', so he could help Ash evolve a wild {{p|Caterpie}} into a {{p|Butterfree}}. Leavanny was also shown in one scene making clothing for Caterpie. Leavanny later reunited with Ash and the entire Unova team at Oak's lab in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]''. Leavanny joined in with them to launch a group attack on {{TRT}}, using Energy Ball to send them blasting off for the final time in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''. Leavanny later posed in a group photo with the rest of Ash's Pokémon. Then, he was left at the lab when Ash set off for the [[Kalos]] region.
