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

Forest Pokémon

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.

Trivia

• Ledian is both the only Bug-type and the only Flying-type to learn either Comet Punch or Mach Punch.
• Despite being a Bug/Flying type, Ledian cannot learn any Bug-type move by leveling until Generation IV and cannot not learn any Flying-type moves via leveling up.
  • The opposite happens with Yanma, who cant learn any bug attacks by level up, however it was able to learn a flying type move (Wing Attack) starting in Pokémon Crystal.
• Ledian is one of three Pokémon having at total of four arms. The others are Machamp and Graveler.

Origin

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

Name origin

Ledian's name is based off 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
