LC Ledyba

[EnzoLapras]

[OVERVIEW]
Although it has a good movepool and a 4x resistance to the common Fighting type, Ledyba is unviable in Little Cup due to its poor defensive and offensive stats and undesirable weakness to Stealth Rock, which massively offset the benefit of its Fighting resistance. Ledyba is outclassed by Venonat as a Baton Passer user except for Ledyba's Rattled ability, and it's worth noting that Baton Pass is a less viable strategy.

[SET]
name: Baton Pass
move 1: Baton Pass
move 2: Substitute
move 3: Swords Dance / Agility
move 4: Encore / Knock Off
item: Eviolite / Berry Juice
ability: Rattled
nature: Impish
evs: 196 HP / 36 Atk / 116 Def / 156 Spe

[SET COMMENTS]
Ledyba functions most effectively with a Baton Pass set. It can use Swords Dance and pass the boost with Baton Pass to a waiting teammate while potentially gaining Speed boosts due to Rattled. Alternatively, it can pass a Substitute, while Knock Off allows Ledyba to soften up foes for its teammates and get around Taunt. However, Venonat runs a Baton Pass set better than Ledyba due to its superior stats, better typing, and reduced weakness to Stealth Rock.

Since this is still in the WIP stage, I think SD pass might work better - getting Ledyba to take a Knock Off isn't overly difficult and most things appreciate +2 Atk/+1 Spe over +3 Spe in a pass. I'd recommend at least trying out the set if you haven't already.

This looks like its ready for QC...if it still doesn't have the QC tag in 24 hrs it will be re-assigned.

[OVERVIEW]
Add a mention that Ledyba's 4x resistance to Fighting-type attacks is completely offset by its low physical bulk and 4x rocks weakness. Though I'd disagree about BP being unviable, this is otherwise fine.

[SET]
Slash Agility after SD. After more experience, speed passing is pretty valuable, though Rattled+SD should still be the primary passing form. Slash Encore first over Knock Off.

[SET COMMENTS]
Combine a few of these sentences, you've got a lot here and you're going into a bit too much detail. Be succinct, Ledyba attempts to Baton Pass Swords Dance and potentially Rattled boosts to teammates.

good

Implement and give yourself 1/2

 

[Xayah]

Feel like Rattled is probably the main reason to use Ledyba over Venonat at all, so mention it in the overview
QC 2/2
