Sewaddle (Japanese:クルミルKurumiru) is a dual-typeBug/GrassPokémon introduced inGeneration V.

Itevolves intoSwadloon starting atlevel 20, which evolves intoLeavanny whenleveled up with high friendship.

Biology

Sewaddle is a caterpillar-likePokémon with a broad, bitten leaf enfolding its head like a hood. Its large, spherical head is an orange-yellow with two small, close-together knobs on its forehead. Sewaddle's eyes are black and circular, and its mouth has a downward-pointing, crescent-shaped orange snout with a sharp tiny tooth at either end. The underside between the snout and its neck is white. Its green body has three segments with a pair of stubby, spherical orange legs on each segment. The bumps on Sewaddle's head are sensory organs.

Sewaddle makes itself leafy clothes using chewed-up leaves and a thread-like substance it produces from its mouth, thoughLeavanny tends to make its first set after hatching. By folding it over its face, its leafy hood is used to help hide it from enemies, whether awake or asleep.It has been shown to eatBerries, but when food is scarce it will eat its leafy clothing as an alternative. Sewaddle is a very popular mascot used by fashion designers. Sewaddle tend to greet each by rubbing their bumps together.
