Ledian Weakness
Type-wise, Ledian takes extra damage from Rock, Fire, Electric, Ice, and Flying. Watch out for Rock attacks, those deal 4x damage. Ground moves do nothing thanks to a full immunity. Ledian's special bulk (base 110 Sp.Def) helps absorb special-type weaknesses, though physical moves exploit the lower Defense.

| 2x (Weak) | Fire, Electric, Ice, Flying |
| 0.5x (Resist) | Bug |

Ledian Guide
In Winds & Waves, Ledian's biggest threats include Aerodactyl (Rock), Charizard (Fire), and Raikou (Electric), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Aerodactyl is the most dangerous since Rock moves deal 4x damage. Ice and Flying-type attackers are also a problem. With 5 weakness types, most competitive teams carry at least one counter.
In Winds & Waves, Ledyba evolves into Ledian at level 18. Ledian is the fully evolved form.
Honestly, in Winds & Waves Ledian is a tough sell at 390 BST. Plenty of stronger Bug/Flying options exist. Fun pick, not a practical one.
For Winds & Waves, we rate Ledian C-Tier: a niche pick in Winds & Waves's meta. At 390 BST, the stats are spread pretty evenly. Drain Punch with Weakness Policy is the standard set.
Swarm is the go-to ability for Ledian. It strengthens bug moves to inflict 1.5× damage at 1/3 max HP or less. Its hidden ability Iron Fist can work in specific setups. Early Bird is the other option. Pick based on what your team needs.
Game Availability
Available in 16 titles since its debut in Gold & Silver, Ledian spans 9 generations of Pokemon games. It's accessible through wild encounters in most mainline games.
