CARDEX BACKGROUND

The Pokémon’s story

Sewaddle wears clothing made from leaves. At birth, Leavanny sews its first outfit; afterward, it can cut leaves itself and assemble them with sticky thread from its mouth. To sleep, it hides its face beneath its hood. The Pokédex describes a small craftsperson whose clothes change with the leaves it finds and protect it even at rest.

Background on the species in the video games; its forms and card versions may have appeared later.

A detail worth noticing

Pokémon Black attributes Sewaddle's first garment to Leavanny. Pokémon White explains that it then sews leaves with its own thread. Its outfit therefore tells of a transition from care received to a skill practiced independently.
