Strategy Overview
With a crippling weakness to Stealth Rock and only base 20 Attack, Ledyba is chasms afar from being an ideal offensive threat. While Swords Dance, the high Base Power of Acrobatics, and the niche ability Rattled can marginally mitigate these issues, they don't address Ledyba's other problems such as the extensive team support it requires and the reliance on getting both a Swords Dance and Rattled boost to get anywhere. One is much better off running a more immediately threatening Flying-type such as Rufflet or Vullaby.
