What ability would single-handedly boost Ledian to OU? Fun fact:

>>32404431
Id say huge power but it's not enough for OU

>>32404431
Nothing that exists atm. You could give it something like auto-trick room and that'd probably be enough.

Wonder Guard

>>32404464
Not even NU

>>32404471
It has five weaknesses to common attacking types, it loses half its health just switching in when Stealth Rock is up, and its physical defense is marginally better than Deoxys.

Even if it did get a free switch-in, what exactly would it do?

>>32404490
toxic stall :^)

>>32404490
U-turn/Baton Pass scout pivoting
Toxic stall
Reflect/Light screen support

>>32404431
Mega Evolution, turns in to Bug/Fairy with the ability pixelate

>>32404471
Shedinja is a better Pokemon overall and it isn't even close to OU with Wonder Guard

A new ability that allows it to call for allies

>>32406459
>it calls Ledyba

>>32404431
Guaranteed secondary effects.
>slap on scarf
>win
Would probably even make it to ubers.

>>32406562
+6 252+ SpA Ledian Silver Wind vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Landorus-Therian: 150-177 (39.2 - 46.3%) -- guaranteed 3HKO

>>32406629
>Ledian used Ice Punch!

>>32406749
252+ Atk Landorus-Therian Smack Down vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Ledian: 452-532 (180 - 211.9%) -- guaranteed OHKO

>>32406843
How are you going to use Smack Down while frozen?

>>32406459
This is what Swarm already should do.

>>32406851
Landorus Scarf

Ability to hold two items

>>32406446
Shedinja is far more fragile than Ledian w/ Wonder Guard.

>>32406843
>>32406860

isn't that +6 coming from Silver Wind spam, which would mean +6 to every stats? Def calcs aside, since that probably wouldn't change much, but we're talking scarfed +6 speed here. Lando won't outspeed.

>>32407269
Because he said Ice Punch, no Silver wind.

>>32407269
>>32407281
Also: he said ledian scarf.

>>32404431
Drizzle.
See Pelipper.

>>32407281

Nice reading comprehension.

HE IS USING ICE PUNCH NOW. HE MANAGED TO USE SILVER WIND SIX TIMES ALREADY, HENCE +6 AT CALC, WHICH ALSO APPLIES TO EVERY OTHER STAT IT HAS.

Unless Ledian knows fucking Tail Glow now.

>>32407332
But, he said ledian scarf

>>32407340
Uh, ok. Disregard that. Shame on me.

So, unless +6 def actually helps, Lando wins. Can someone check it?

>>32404431
Give it a regional alt-form with 80 HP and Fur Coat.

>>32407311
The existence of Pelipper means Ledian wouldn't go to OU, since it's outclassed by Pelipper. In fact, it might not even make UU, which is where I believe Politoed is. Drizzle would boost it to RU at best.

>>32407355
252+ Atk Landorus-Therian Stone Edge vs. +6 0 HP / 0 Def Ledian: 224-268 (89.2 - 106.7%) -- 37.5% chance to OHKO

Shadow Tag, probably. Prankster would be really nice as well.

>>32407796
oh shit i cant switch out and this ledian is a serious threat

>>32407796
Damn, that means Alomomola can't hurt this Pokémon very well because of Ledian's 110 SpD....

>>32404490

It has decent speed and encore, so as long as it can outspeed the opponent, it can encore a move it isn't weak to, and then at least use toxic, or be a fantastic pivot with u turn

How OP would "automatic Destiny Bond" ability on it be?

>>32407850
>[Literally Any Pokemon] used Toxic!
>[Literally Any Pokemon], return! Go, [Pokemon that walls Ledian!]

>>32407857
>withdraw Ledian when it's low enough
>send it out again in a crucial moment to eat opponent's sweeper whole

you're talking as if only opp is allowed to switch out.

>>32407857
>[Literally Any Pokemon] used Toxic!
>[Literally Any Pokemon], return! Go, [Any Pokemon!]
ftfy

>>32404431
New Ability: Auto-perma-AuroraVeil.

>>32404431
>What ability would single-handedly boost Ledian to OU?
Battle bond?

New Ability: Star Armor
Filter+Defensive portion of Shields Down(can't be statused while at 50% or higher HP)+Fur Coat

auto trick room ability or auto reflect/light screen ability

Summons Trick Room on loadout and maybe have it last 2-3 turns more than regular Trick Room

Literally all it needs

Moody would if it wasn't banned.

maybe a huge power for special moves although i doubt it
