Ledian [GP 2/2]

[Oglemi]

[Overview]

<p>Ledian is the best Pokemon as it is the cutest. Sadly, this doesn't mean much on the battlefield.</p>

[SET]
name: Love Bug
move 1: Encore
move 2: Light Screen
move 3: Reflect
move 4: U-turn / Roost
item: Light Clay
ability: Early Bird
nature: Jolly
evs: 152 HP / 104 SpD / 252 Spe

[SET COMMENTS]

<p>Switch into a Grass-type or weak special attacker and either Encore a useless setup move or start setting up dual screens. Once you've set up screens, U-turn out to the teammate that's best for the situation at hand. Roost can be used instead of U-turn if you want Ledian to stick around a little longer, since it's not like Ledian will do much with its hilariously weak U-turn if it gets hit by Taunt anyway.</p>

<p>The EV spread maximizes Ledian's special bulk with just 256 EVs (which is actually kind of impressive, considering), and Speed is maxed out to make sure it can set up a screen before getting nailed by an attack. Early Bird is cool for being able to switch into an opposing Sleep Powder and not be too crippled by it.</p>

[Other Options]

<p>A set of Encore, Swords Dance, Agility, and Baton Pass can be used, but Ledian has a hard time setting up in most battles due to its physical frailty. If you want to take Ledian on the offensive, which I wouldn't recommend due to that atrocious base 35 Attack stat, your best bet is a set of Swords Dance, Acrobatics, Bug Bite, and Mach Punch or Drain Punch with Iron Fist and a Flying Gem.</p>

[Checks and Counters]

<p>Ledian is decently fast and so will most likely be able to set up at least one screen on any slow defensive Pokemon. Your goal should be to prevent it from getting an opportunity to actually switch in and cause trouble. Stealth Rock helps in this venture, as does nearly any physical attack. Very rarely will Ledian be the actual problem; it'll be the teammate that it brings in after getting a screen or two set up.</p>

So, not sure what you mean by the 252 Ev thing, wouldn't more special defense or HP evs increase its special bulk? Also, is ungodly really the right word?

A couple of my edits are subjective but whatevs.


Edit: gotcha gato

Double edit: Are you saying that it's the best spread with 252 Evs, or that adding in more evs after 252 decreases special bulk?

no, we played around with it a lot last generation and the 152 / 104 spread maximized its special bulk with just 252 available evs

edit: what do you think v_v

I tried to sleep once, but all I saw was Ledian. There was no dream.

I think that this was a joke analysis and I wasn't sure if it was a joke or that thing;also I didn't realize what you meant until it was too late.

Also u gotta be fast with all these, we need them up ASAP for SPL players

 

[Aasgier]

You have 256 EV's left after dumping 252 EV's in speed, not 252. Worth a note.

Otherwise, it's a nice little joke analysis. I don't see anything wrong with it.

^good catch
