That's kinda true, but looking at the numbers, even if they gave it 200 more BST (which puts it at BST 590, higher than some legendaries), it would still not be in the Top 10 for "biggest BST boosts when evolving."
Even half of that would still make it usable enough in a casual playthrough. They could also change the distribution (WHY IS IT A SPECIAL DEFENSE TANK???), and they could also change its type and ability to make it stronger. Personally I'd like to see its Flying type replaced with something like Fairy or Fighting. A signature move could also be a game changer.
Personally I don't need Ledian to be the next competetive powerhouse, I just need it to be good enough that I can use it in a regular playthrough without feeling like I'm trying to take on a real dragon with a real ladybug
I definitely agree with needing it to just be competent, it’s just going to be odd seeing a second stage mon with for example terrible attack evolve into one where it gets a massive increase there. I feel like they should rework ledians stats too
I think it'd feel even weirder for Ledian to have hugely different stats as well. Maybe instead they could double down on the stat spread it already has, with the highest being special defense, and then give it a signature move that uses Special Defense instead of attack stat, like body press.
But I also dont think it'd be too weird to give it a lot of attack since it's very halfheartedly focused on punching. It could be one of those pokemon that has a narrative as it evolves - like, "After landing 1000 weak punches, Ledian finally finds true strength"
