Leavanny

 

     Leavanny will never get the recognition it truly deserves. Being a horrible type in an extremely biased region in a game that has so many "cooler" choices that are actually incredibly overrated makes her a lost cause in a spontaneous popularity boost. However, a thin ray of hope shines through Leavanny's sad shame hole, protecting her from sweeping grass types such as Serperior. Leavanny isn't exactly bulletproof, but with the perfect set-up, she can be.

     Leavanny's shining gem is her attack stat. When threatened with a flying type, or rock type, or honestly anything that it's weak to, it can't do anything, and because of how popular flying types are, and how many grass types protect themselves with moves such as Aerial Ace, she can't be safe 24/7. However, her moves make both special attack and attack can come into play.

Suggested Moveset: Leaf Blade/Leaf Storm/X-Scissor/Calm Mind

     When threatened with pokemon which are advantageous against the poorly typed Leavanny, she must flee. However, she can fight off most sweepers who decide to underestimate the innocent looking Leavannny. With Calm Mind, the cost of weakened special attack from Leaf Storm is obsolete. It boosts special defense as an added bonus. Handy! Leaf Blade and X-Scissor are easy to use just in case, as at least one Bug type attack is necessary. 

Counters: Braviary/Jumpluff/Swellow/Darmanitan/Magmortar

As said earlier, Leavanny is ridiculously easy to annihilate, because it's weak to practically weak to everything. It's easy to just flick it away like a buggy booger. However, sweepers are NOT advised. Leavanny is meant to stop pokemon that are meant to destroy, like Zoroark.
