What were they thinking?

Gamefreak doesn't care about competitive in Gen 2.

It's so cute.

Pic related, it's the shiny.

They already blew their load with good bug types in Gen 2 so they compensated by making Ledian and Ariados shit. I still like 'em.

He has a cute design. Even though he always sucked back in gen2 days I always made room for him on my in game team

>>31188806
Ariados at least has webs

Clearly you know Jojo well enough to recognize it and act like a cumdrinker, because some dude likes shit you don't.

Tch, you're just like Kars.

They purposely trained it wrong, as a joke.

It needs the Beedrill treatment, hyper min-maxed mega form to even make it partially usable.

IS THIS A JoJo REFERENCE ??.

I love his design, it reminds me of Megaman robot masters. I wish he wasn't shit.

>>31188130
Always used this thing on my team as a kid.

Also never got really far in the game as a kid.

>>31188130
Give it an evolution:

Lediclean (mix of Ledian and Herculean)

Give it an ancient Greece kind of vibe (has a pteruges round its waist [the leather skirt thing that Greeks and Romans wore] and a centurion looking helmet with that mohawk thing down the middle)

Boost its stats, particularly attack and keep iron fists. Make it bug/ fighting.

There you go, a decent pokemon.

>>31189133
>M'LADYbug
>he

Ledian now has an ability called 'flurry attacker' which enables it to select 3 attacks to use each turn. Is it usable now?

>>31188130
Most gen 2 pokemon are crap.This is just the crappiest.
>>31192928
Of course they don't anon.They didn't even bother with the lore!
>>31193226
>>tfw Ribombee is the ultimate fuck you to Ledian
Why?Ribombee feels like a fuck you to Alola

guess who thought ledian's sp def stat was it's sp atk stat :^)
