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, a black neck 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 pre-evolved 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. Its back is red in coloration with large black spots, and the undersides of the ladybug-like wing covers are yellow. It has a single pair of clear wings underneath the wing covers.
Gender differences
A female has shorter antennae.
Special abilities
Due to its fists, which are like boxing gloves, Ledian is capable of using Fighting-type moves such as Mach Punch. Ledian is also able to emit ultrasonic cries that have the power to befuddle foes.
Behavior
Ledian appears nocturnal or crepuscular in activity, sleeping in the daytime inside a big leaf. When the stars flicker in the night sky, Ledian flutters about, scattering a glowing powder. The star patterns on its back grow larger or smaller depending on the number of stars in the night sky.
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 daytime.
Diet
- Main article: Pokémon food
It may be possible, as Ledian uses the light of the stars as energy, that starlight can be considered as its food.
In the anime
Major appearances
Ledian's first major appearance in the anime was in Mountain Time under the ownership of Benji. He and his father worked with their Pokémon in a mountain patrol.
Minor appearances
Ledian's first appearance in the franchise (before Mountain Time), was in Mewtwo Returns. Many wild Ledian worked together with other Bug-type Pokémon to save Mount Quena from Team Rocket.
Ledian made a small appearance in The Rise of Darkrai as one of the Pokémon Darkrai hit with a Dark Void attack as the other Trainers were attacking him.
Another one appeared in A Trainer and Child Reunion!.
Ledian appeared in Zoroark: Master of Illusions as a few of the many local Pokémon who lives in Crown City. One of them worked with several other Pokémon in surrounding Zorua at the park to attack him, angry at Zorua for what Zoroark did to the city. Before a fight broke out, Ledian, along with the other Pokémon, were calmed by Celebi.

It is said that in lands with clean air, where the stars fill the sky, there live Ledian in countless numbers. There is a good reason for this - the Pokémon uses the light of the stars as its energy.
