Its strongest point is Sp. Def — higher than 92% of species. On the other hand, Attack — lower than 95% of species. This is the final form of its line — it does not evolve any further. In defense it has 5 weaknesses, 3 resistances and 1 full immunity at its disposal. Watch out for the Rock type — damage from it is quadrupled.

Last column: what percentage of 1084 species and regional forms have a lower value. Strong point: Sp. Def; weak point: Attack.

A nature can improve this entry further: its boost hits hardest on Sp. Def, the stat in which this species already leads. Which nature does that — see the list of natures.

Which nature to choose

The stats describe a special wall — it hits weakly on both sides, but its Sp. Def stays high. A nature does not touch HP, so extra bulk can only be added on this side.

  • Calm +SpD · −Atk Raises what this species uses to absorb hits, at the cost of Attack — a stat it does not use anyway.

A conclusion drawn from base stats alone — a specific moveset can reverse it. All 25 natures.

TCG cards (9)

All Ledian cards →

Ledian has 9 cards in 9 sets. The oldest of them are shown below.

Offspring can come from 90 species from the same Egg Groups (with opposite genders) or from Ditto. Below are the first 12 by Pokédex number.

The Egg hatches after 15 cycles, which is roughly 4,100 steps. The exact cycle length depends on the game — newer titles shortened it noticeably — so treat this number as an order of magnitude, not a countdown. Having the Flame Body Ability in your party halves the wait.
