Evolution Chain
Pokedex Entries18 entries

Generation VI

X

When the stars flicker in the night sky, it flutters about, scattering a glowing powder.

Y

The spot patterns on its back grow larger or smaller depending on the number of stars in the night sky.

Omega Ruby, Alpha Sapphire

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.

Generation VII

Sun

While it’s believed that starlight provides it with energy, this Pokémon also loves to eat berries. In the daytime, it curls up in the grass to sleep.

Moon

In battle, it throws punches with all four arms. The power of each individual blow is piddly, so it aims to win by quantity rather than quality.

Ultra Sun

It’s said that the patterns on its back are related to the stars in the night sky, but the details of that relationship remain unclear.

Ultra Moon

It flies through the night sky, sprinkling sparkly dust. According to some, if that dust sticks to you, good things will happen to you.
