Are Ariados and Ledian good for GSC?

I’m going to assume this is for in-game purposes.

Ledian is one of the single worst Pokemon of all time, and you should never use it, not even in a playthrough. 390 BST is pathetic, and it gets barely any good moves. It has garbage attacking stats, and ingame is all about attacking. Don’t use it, in-game or competitively.

Ariados is a bit better, but still bad compared to other Bug types. It’s slow, and its only good stat is Attack. Its best STAB move is Sludge Bomb, and Poison is a crappy attacking type.

Scyther and Heracross are far and away superior Bug types, and it’s not too difficult to obtain them. Use one of those instead.

Hope I helped!

My thoughts exactly. Ledian should never be used, with only 390 BST it is absolutely poor. Even in casual playthroughs. Ariados is a bit better, but you still have better options. For Ledian, you should use Scyther/Scizor. They are absolutely better in everyway, and are very good in game. Here is a moveset.

Scyther/Scizor(Gen 2) @ Silver PowderSteel Wing - CoverageFury Cutter - STAB -While a weak move on the surface, the held item and aand STAB boost will make this very good.Wing Attack - STAB -Same case as Fury CutterSwords Dance - Setup

Now, for Ariados, you got two options. If you want to maintain the bug typing, then Heracross is a good solution. If not, then go with Fearow. I will list movesets for both.

Heracross(Gen 2) @ Really Anything.Megahorn - STABStrength - CoverageEarthquake - CoverageCurse - Setup

Fearow(Gen 2) @ Kings RockFly - HM use and STABHidden Power (Ground/Water/Grass) / Return - CoverageSteel Wing - CoverageCurse - Setup

In the end, I would go with Heracross and Fearow.Hope I helped!
