Ledian (#166) is a Bug/Flying-type Pokémon from the Johto region (Generation 2) in Pokémon GO. With a maximum CP of 1,540 at Level 50 with perfect 15/15/15 IVs, Ledian has its niche uses in certain battle scenarios. This complete guide covers the best moveset, PvP analysis, raid counters, evolution, and shiny availability for Ledian in 2026.
Ledian's Attack stat is 107 (Below Average). The lower Attack stat means Ledian may compensate with bulk or utility.
With 179 Defense (Good) and 146 Stamina (Good), the total stat product is 432. This gives Ledian reasonable durability in battle. Compared to other Bug-type Pokémon, Ledian's stat distribution favors defense.
The best moveset for Ledian depends on whether you use it for raids, gyms, or PvP. For raids, use Struggle Bug (Fast) with Bug Buzz (Charged) for maximum DPS. This takes advantage of STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus) which provides a 20% damage boost for matching-type moves.
For PvP (GO Battle League), energy generation and coverage matter more than raw DPS. Ledian has 3 Fast Attacks and 4 Charged Attacks to choose from.
In Great League, Ledian can be a viable pick. For Great League, lower Attack IVs (like 0/15/15) are preferred to maximize stat product under 1500 CP. The Bug/Flying typing provides useful matchups against Ground, Fighting, Grass-type threats while being weak to Rock, Fire, Flying types.
In Master League, Ledian faces tough competition from Pokémon with higher CP caps. It is better suited for capped leagues.
As a raid attacker, Ledian's effectiveness depends on its typing and 107 Attack stat. It may not be the top raid choice but contributes in the right conditions. Best counters against Ledian use Rock, Fire-type moves.
Ledian can be found in the wild, hatched from Eggs, obtained through Research tasks, and during events. In Rainy weather, it receives a spawn boost. The buddy distance is 1km per candy — use Pinap Berries for double candy when catching.
Ledian is part of a 2-stage evolution family:
Tip: For PvP, check IV spreads before evolving (low Attack, high Defense/Stamina). For raids, aim for 15/15/15 perfect IVs.
