Ledian in the meta
PvE Analysis
Recommended moves
- Bug Attacker:
Bug Bite
Bug Buzz - Flying Attacker:
Bug Bite
Aerial Ace
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.
PvP Analysis
Recommended moves
- Great League:
Rollout
Dynamic Punch
Acrobatics
🔵 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.
