What's the deal with that pokémon? I mean, it's not that I don't like it nor I love it, I actually never think about it and it's kind of strange. I often hang out here on VP, and I often read the threads about "your favorite pokemons", "your trainer sheet", or "what's your shouldermon", etc... and I see pretty much every pokemon in those lists. Obviously some are more popular, but overall, I must have seen them all at least once or twice... Except Ledian. As if it doesn't exist. But it is never present in the lists of hated pokémon either. What is strange is that it is not a common pokémon, as Bibarel or Basculin can be. It has a very surprising design, it looks more like a digimon or a character from another franchise than a pokémon. Why do you think this is the case? Anyway, I never see a thread dedicated to it, so I just wanted to fix this injustice.

I'd love a crossgen evo for him.

>>48556455 Don't worry anon I hate it a lot. It getting completely outclassed by Orbeetle was hilarious.

>>48556455 I'm pretty sure a lot of people are fans of its design, it's just that it got nerfed to absolutel shit after the phys/spec split and it wasn't even very good before that. Ledian is in DIRE need of buffs

Except Ledian Evidently not since it's my favourite Bug-Type and fourth favourite Pokemon overall and I post on those threads pretty regularly.

>>48556455 Ledian is one of my favorites, i like its personality and i tend to view him the main character superhero underdog kinda pokemon, one that will fight for his friends, knows he isn’t the strongest, but somehow always manages to put in work.

>>48557116 Same, although I'm pretty sure that sort of rookie superhero aspect of Ledian's design was intentional since it's obviously based on Super Sentai.

Ledian would be more popular if it weren't one of the worst final forms in the series, I even tried using it in SM and it was just so weak. Ledian isn't a big favorite on this board, but plenty of people like it for its design and want it to be stronger, and if it did get a buff of some sort I think it would have a lot of people really happy they could finally give the cool hero bug a spot on their team.

This little fella couldn't actually learn a Bug move in Gen II, not withstanding Hidden Power Bug. He couldn't learn any Flying moves even by TM either so he had no STAB moves at all. Someone at Game Freak really really hated the fucker.
