  • Scolipede. Leavanny's design is... No. Just no...

    I'm biased. When I first saw Scolipede's design, I liked it a lot already.

    - the Pokemon you would be more likely to use in-game
    Scolipede definitely, it seems way stronger to me than Leavanny. STEAMROLLER AAA

    - the Pokemon you think can be the most fun to battle with
    I don't really know because I haven't used either of them, but I think Scolipede yeah.

    - the best designed

    I like the Mantis kind of idea of Leavanny, but I love scorpions so I say Scolipede.

    WHAT. SCOLIPEDE IS 100x BETTER THAN LEAVANOOB.
    That design, those stats, dat moveset. Let's just compare here, shall we?

    Leavanny vs [Scolipede]
    Leavanny vs [Scolipede]
    Leavanny vs [Scolipede]

    → has 6 super effective weaknesses
    → is slower than Scolipede (with 92 as its base speed)
    → Leavanny has no sets listed at smogon
    Leavanny vs [Scolipede]
    Leavanny vs [Scolipede]
    Leavanny vs [Scolipede]

    → has 4 super effective weaknesses
    → has 112 base speed
    and although Leavanny's Attack is higher, Scolipede has a higher defense and with Bug/Poison both being super effective against Leavanny. It's also a stab move with Scolipede so that LEAVANNY HAS NO CHANCE TYVM.
    → has a couple of movesets given from Smogon - so pretty much more useful than Leavanny in terms of competitive battling

    The color shade given to Scolipede is quite amazing if I must say so myself. Leavanny creeps me out. Though this is my opinion, all the facts up there prove otherwise that Scolipede is far better than Leavanny. n____n

    SCOLIPEDE GETS MY VOTE.

    Pssh, Scolipede by far. Leavanny is outclassed by like everything and even among other Bug/Grass-types, things like Parasect are far, far better. Design-wise, Scolipede is actually a Pokemon that I've wanted to see come into existence since like Gen 3 (yeahhh centipede!!!) whereas... I really have no idea what Leavanny is supposed to be, lol. Sewing??

  • The Pokemon you would be more likely to use in-game
    Leavanny gets my vote for one simple reason: I leveled up a Swadloon and i didn't know why I did it. :P

    The Pokemon you think can be the most fun to battle with
    Leavanny, because he/she's the only one that i used(got a Scolipede, never used it).

    The best designed
    For me, that's Scolipede. He/She looks really menacing with that dark color scheme.

    I think you already know who i'm gonna vote for.

  • This is easily the easiest poll yet. Scolipede. The only thing Leavanny has over it is the awesome leaf blade.

    Let's take a look at both.

    Leavanny vs [Scolipede]


    Pros:
    Higher Speed and Defense.
    Better typing
    Access to both Spikes and Toxic Spikes, and the fastest spiker.
    Better Movepool

    Leavanny vs [Scolipede]


    Pros:
    Because of Chlrophyll, under the sun, Leavanny is nearly impossible to outspeed without boosts.
    Higher HP, Sp. Def, Atk, and Sp. Atk. (Sp. Atk is pretty much useless anyway)

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Imo, Scolipede has a better shiny sprite and overall design. I also remember this person at Victory Road with a Scolipede OHKOing all of my pokemon via its Steamroller, so i've gained more respect for it since then. But i do hate Whirlipede with all my heart.

  • the Pokemon you would be more likely to use in-game
    -Pendoraa. Because I have and always will.
    the Pokemon you think can be the most fun to battle with
    -I cannot speak for levanny on a scale of battle, because I have never used it. But pendoraa is fun to use, especially since whenever mine gets knocked down, whatever is infront of her when she gets up again is subject to rampant flinch/crit/poison.
    the best designed
    -CENTIPEDEPONYYYYYY.
    I had no real opinion on levanny when I first saw it, sort of 'meh, okay', but since the first glance pendoraa earned its place on my list of favourites- and is essentially one of my favourites out of both bug and poison types. Because centipede pony, that's why.
    Do I need more reason than "CentipedePony" for why I like its design? It's a giant, rideable centipede.
    Sure, it's a bit bulgy in the chest, but centipedepony.

  • - the Pokemon you would be more likely to use in-game
    »Leavanny
    I used it in my Nuzlocke of White when the roms were first realeased and it was extremely dependable, not to mention Sewaddle gets two powerful STAB moves very early.

    - the Pokemon you think can be the most fun to battle with
    »Leavanny
    Leavanny is extremely strong in battle with its Base 103 Attack Stat and great STAB in both Leaf Blade and X-Scissor. Leavanny definitely doesn't mess around and is quite the offensive force, in-game.

    - the best designed
    »Leavanny
    Leavanny is one of my favorite Pokemon of the 5th Generation, it's color scheme is absolutely amazing and while simple, it's face is somewhat cute. I also love the inspiration it gets from tailors, and the fact that it has those sharp leaf blades means it's something you don't want to mess around with

    the Pokemon i would be more likely to use in-game
    ofcourse it would be Leavanny its just awesome with that powerful base attack and i feel that the weaknesses arent as important when you play the main game


    the Pokemon you think can be the most fun to battle with
    I have to say Scolipede dont like how it look but still its faster then leavanny and doesnt have as much weaknesses as Leavanny

    the best designed
    Leavanny i like when some pokemon are more female inspired and to be honest Leavanny is one of the best looking pokemon out there

    The Pokemon I'm more likely to use is Scolipede, I rarely use poison types, and I would love to try it out, I just never have room on my team.

    I'm not sure what the most fun one to battle with would be, since I haven't used Scolipede, and I barely used Leavanny.

    Scolipede definitely looks the best to me, I just have a special thing for purple, and even though centipedes are one of those bugs on my "If I see one in my house it has no chance of survival" list, I still prefer it over Leavanny.

    In all three categories, Scolipede. That said, I haven't used either of them yet, but I hope to have both on a team eventually! :)

    Aaaand Scolipede wins! Going to unsticky this for now, anyone can post in here sharing your thoughts (although not in the poll), but be on the lookout for the next weekly poll soon :)

    Also bolded the winner so it looks nice and easy to identify.
