I know we're going to have this fucking thread 'till the sun eats the fucking earth, but whatever:

Because it's a PLANT mimicking a BUG- not the other way around.

It's the same reason Sudowoodo isn't Grass/Rock.

thats fucking weird, nature is fucking spooky

Because it's not an orchid mantis.
It's a mantis orchid.

>>27496497
Because its Mega will be Fairy/Grass, Bug/Grass, or Fairy/Bug and lose the Grass typing altogether.

Real orchid mantises are mantises mimicking plants.

The Pokemon version is a plant mimicking a mantis.

I think it's also because two x4 weaknesses would put too many people off from using it. Leavanny doesn't get enough love and I'm pretty sure it's typing is part of the reason.

It looks Bug/Fairy. So it is obviously Grass. GF logic.

It puzzles me why people still think Leavanny is a mantis. Its only standing upright because its a bug nanny. Leavanny has little interest of devouring your head off. It is the unaggresive counterpart of Scolipede.
