What Ledian 23 does without attacking

Ledian 23 carries 1 printed effect that work outside the attack step, so it can matter on a turn the card never attacks.

Printed effects

Capped at once a turn

None

Read from the printed text quoted below, not counted anywhere else.

Powder Protection — Poké-Body

Any damage done to Ledian by attacks from Pokémon that has an owner in its name is reduced by 40.

Quoted from the card face. The label after the dash is how the card itself names the effect.

Why this sits apart from the attacks

An attack costs Energy and ends your turn. What is printed above does neither — it is available while the card is in play, so it is a different kind of cost to a deck. Attack costs are in the section above.

Is Ledian 23 efficient for the Energy it asks for?

Printed damage on its own says nothing — a 50 damage attack that needs 3 Energy and one that needs two are different cards. Dividing one by the other puts every attack on the same scale.

Where this sits once the archive is cut by damage instead

The bars above cut the archive by what an attack asks for. Cut the same archive by what an attack prints and the groups come out differently — the damage ranges on record are gathered on one page, which is where a figure like 50 is read as high or low rather than merely large.

What does being a Grass card do for Ledian 23?

Type decides two things at once — which cards take double damage from this one, and which cards deal double to it. Both are read from the weakness printed on each group, not from a rule of thumb.

What knocks out Ledian 23 in one hit, and what does it knock out?

Of the 999 cards in the archive that can remove Ledian 23 in a single attack, this one clears the bar by the smallest margin — 40 printed damage against a bar of 35. Anything printed higher removes it just as surely, so this is where the line actually sits, and this print is legal in Standard play today.

What is Ledian as a Pokémon, across every card it has been printed on?

Ledian 23 is one print of Ledian. The figures below are about the Pokémon rather than this single card — how many times it has been printed, how tough those prints run, and how many of them can still be played.

Ledian has been printed 14 times, and the printed numbers move from one print to the next. Point at a card to see it full size.Tap a card to open its page.

Legality is read from the print rather than from the Pokémon, so an older copy of the same Pokémon is a different card for tournament purposes.

What has to be in play before Ledian 23 can be?

Ledian evolves from Ledyba, so the whole line has to be built before this card reaches the field.

+30 HP · +70 damage

Ledian8 prints on record · EX Team Rocket Returns

Ledyba → Ledian

This card cannot be played from your hand onto an empty spot — it goes on top of Ledyba.
The line runs 2 stages, so the first card has to be in play 1 turn before this one can be.

Bars are the highest HP ever printed on that stage, measured against the top of this line (90 HP). The note beside each bar is the hardest attack printed at that stage.

Every print of a stage is counted, not just the one shown in the chain above, so the bar is the ceiling that stage has reached rather than one card from it.

Back to summary

Is this the strongest Ledian print, and can the older ones still be played?

14 prints carry this name in the archive. They share a Pokémon but not a card — printed HP, printed damage and tournament legality all move from one print to the next.

Bar height and the number above each bar = highest HP that year; the two digits below = the year.

Rows run from the toughest print down. Bars are printed HP, measured against the toughest print of this name shown here (90 HP), and the highlighted row is the card this page is about.

Three readings of the same card, side by side: what it costs to get going, where it sits among the cards it will be compared with, and what takes it off the field.

What it asks a deck for

Its hardest attack, Tackle, needs 3 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 3 turns from an empty card.
That works out at 17 damage for every Energy card attached.
Moving it out of the active spot costs 1 more Energy, discarded from the card itself.
It cannot start the game in play — Ledyba has to be on the field first.

Where its HP stands, cut four ways

Every card in the archiveNo. 10,622 of 17,290

Grass cardsNo. 1,285 of 2,387

Stage 1 cardsNo. 4,325 of 5,102

Team Rocket ReturnsNo. 34 of 97

What actually removes it

A Fire attack printed at 35 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 70 HP.
1,014 cards in the archive clear that bar.
Going the other way, it removes 1,060 cards in one attack.

Ledian 23 — frequently asked questions

How much damage does it take to knock out Ledian 23?

Ledian 23 has 70 HP and a Fire weakness at ×2, so a Fire attack printed at 35 damage or more removes it in one turn. Any other type has to print the full 70.

What is the strongest attack on Ledian 23?

Tackle, printed at 50 damage for 3 Energy — 17 damage per Energy card.

What is the retreat cost of Ledian 23?

1 Energy, discarded from this card to move it out of the active spot. Retreating is allowed once per turn.

Can an older Ledian print be played in a tournament?

Legality is read from the print, not from the Pokémon. Of the 14 prints listed on this page, 3 are legal in Standard play. The rest can still be played in formats that accept them, and the table on this page names the regulation mark each print carries.

What does Ledian evolve from?

Ledyba. It cannot be played straight from your hand onto an empty spot — the earlier stage has to be in play first.

Can Ledian 23 be played in a tournament?

It is legal in Unlimited play. Standard events run on a rotating list of sets, so check the current rotation before entering one.

Does this page say how good Ledian 23 is in a deck?

No. Every figure here is read from the printed card. Deck lists, tournament results and win rates are not published on this site, because the card files it reads do not contain them.
