      PvE AnalysisPvE Analysis

      Shadow Ledyba is a weak Pokémon on both offense and defense, making it completely unsuitable for Raids and Gyms. It's just a regular addition to your Shadow Pokédex.

      PvP AnalysisPvP Analysis

      🧸 Little Cup

      With a tremendous damage boost to Silver Wind from the Forever Forward Season update, Shadow Ledyba is better than ever, accompanied with the hard-hitting Bug Bite and shield-baiting Swift. While the strong Bug offense gives this Pokémon an impressive standing in a meta filled with Pokémon like Deino, Wynaut, Bulbasaur, and other types weak to Bug, the regular and Shadow variants of Ledyba are sidegrades.

      While Shadow Ledyba beats Dratini, Igglybuff, and Mandibuzz, the regular form takes out Nidoqueen, Seel, and Skorupi. Either way, this is a dominant Pokémon in these battles, so whatever you choose, you end up with some impressive wins!

      With a max CP of only 823, Shadow Ledyba isn't convenient for any other PvP League.
