Ledian (Japanese: レディアン Redian) is a dual-type Bug/Flying Pokémon.

It evolves from Ledyba starting at level 18.

Biology

Physiology

Ledian resembles a large, mostly red ladybug. It has two black antennae, and a black spot in the center of its forehead. Its two eyes are large, blue and slanted, reminiscent of the stereotypical "alien." Its four arms are like those of its juvenile form Ledyba: black stalks with cartoonish white fists at the end. Its two legs are similar to its arms, but end with large red feet.

Gender differences

A female has shorter antennae.

Special abilities

Behavior

Habitat

Because they need starlight to use as energy, Ledian are likely to inhabit places where the night skies are usually clear and the air is clean. They may sleep in forests when it is day time.

Trivia

  • All of Ledian's sprites show its wings open and outstretched, unlike that in the anime, in which there are times the wings are closed.
  • Ledian is an anagram for "nailed", which can become a joke among fans.
  • Despite its Pokédex entries mentioning it receives power from starlight, it cannot learn Wish
  • Ledian is the only Template:Type2 and the Template:Type2 to learn Comet Punch.
  • Ledian is the only Bug-type to learn Mach Punch, plus the only Flying-type as well to learn the move.
  • Despite being a Bug/Flying type, Ledian cannot learn any Template:Type2 move by leveling until Generation IV and cannot not learn any Flying-type moves by leveling up.

Origin

Ledian's appearance is that of a ladybird with its shell opened and wings outstretched.

Name origin

Ledian's name is a misspelling of ladybird, also known as a ladybug. It also appears to incorporate alien into its name, owing to its head which appears similar to greys.

In other languages

  • German: Ledian
  • French: Coxyclaque - From Coccinella and claque (slap), probably referring to the Pokémon's punching-glove like fore- and mid-legs.
  • Korean: 레디안 Redian
