Ledian's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Read meta analysis

Ledian PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

To become viable in the Bug meta, the said Pokémon needs to have at least a high ATK since Bug-type moves aren't the most well-rounded for PvE. Sadly, Ledian has a low enough ATK that it isn’t usable in Raids, even with the best moves in the game. Its bulk is also not sufficient for successful Gym defense. This is not a PvE Pokémon by any means.

Ledian PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

🔵 Great League

Despite gaining access to moves like Rollout and Acrobatics from the Forever Forward Season update, Ledian’s improvement in the Great League puts it at only a decent standing. In fact, you would prefer Bug Bite over Rollout, with more impressive wins like Empoleon, Kingdra, Feraligatr, Lickilicky, Malamar, and Seaking, while losing out on Shadow Drapion, Togekiss, Florges, and Wigglytuff.

It's not meta and only spice, and when you have strong Bug types like Scizor, Forretress, Charjabug, and Golisopod, why would you even bat an eyelid to Ledian?

With a max CP of only 1522, Ledian isn't suitable for other PvP Leagues.
