Shadow Ledian's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Read meta analysis

Shadow Ledian PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

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.

Shadow Ledian PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

🔵 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.
