>>22829008>aerilateI disagree. Check out its flavor, it's a kamen rider bug that gets loads of punching moves. The reason it can't use any is because it sports a whopping 30 attack. Fix that up and it's golden.
Iron Fist would be a great ability for it. A new ability that makes punch moves hit multiple times would be awesome.
Make it Bug/Fighting instead of shit-tier Bug/Flying, and it'd be way better. It'd get STAB Iron Fist-boosted Mach Punch, Drain Punch, Power-Up Punch, Focus Punch.
Its Sp. Def is already pretty damn good, but its HP is shit so it can't be fixed in that regard. Basically it just needs some help with Attack. I think this would make it viable in RU/UU:
HP: 55
Attack: 35 > 135 (+100)
Defense: 50 > 50
Sp. Attack: 55 > 25 (-30)
Sp. Defense: 110 > 110
Speed: 85 > 115 (+30)
135 attack is pretty strong, on the level of M-Lopunny, M-Aerodactyl, Metagross, Tyranitar, and Salamence. Iron Fist boosts many of its various attacking moves such as Drain Punch, Mach Punch, T-Punch and Ice Punch, and provides a small boost to PuP. It also has access to U-Turn and Knock Off.
However, its real strength would be its utility. With access to a shitton of useful support moves, including but not limited to Tailwind, both Screens, and Encore, it is a huge asset to its team with 115 speed letting it use support moves before things even at the coveted 110 speed tier.
It also can learn Baton Pass, which would give a potential Mega Ledian massive potential for supporting its team with passes. It learns moves such as Swords Dance, Agility, and Substitute that could really fuck over an opponent that decides to switch into a Ledian counter.
Overall it would be able to run multiple sets and it'd be a force to be reckoned with, if not in OU then the lower tiers.
Too bad it'll never ever happen
