PvE Analysis
Recommended moves
- Bug Attacker:
Bug Bite
Bug Buzz - Flying Attacker:
Bug Bite
Aerial Ace
Even with the Shadow boost to its ATK, Ledian doesn't hit hard enough to earn it a spot among your Bug-type attackers in Raids. As for the lowered DEF, it is more advisable not to use this Pokémon for Gym defense.
PvP Analysis
Recommended moves
- Great League:
Rollout
Dynamic Punch
Acrobatics
🔵 Great League
Regular Ledian’s best performance came with Bug Bite, but Shadow Ledian takes the lead with the new move in its kit, Rollout, giving the overall best display of power from the Ledian group.
Shadow Drapion, Azumarill, Shadow Forretress, Shadow Empoleon, Togekiss, Kingdra, Cresselia, Ninetales, and Furret get defeated by Shadow Ledian, many of which can't be handled by regular Ledian. Still, Shadow Ledian isn't the most reliable Pokémon for these battles, and should ideally be used as spice. 🌶️
With a max CP of only 1522, Shadow Ledian isn't viable for any other PvP League.
