LC Ledyba

[Aaronboyer]

[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.

Ledyba can set up with Swords Dance against Fighting-types such as Mienfoo and Timburr. Ledyba can also take advantage of these Pokemon using Knock Off against it, activating its Rattled ability. After hopefully acquiring both a Swords Dance and Rattled boost, Ledyba should try to get off as many attacks as it can with its coverage moves. However, due to its 4x weakness to Stealth Rock and the necessity of setting up with Swords Dance as well as being hit by Knock Off to accomplish anything, Ledyba should never be used over better Flying-types such as Vullaby and Doduo.

Besides being pretty verbose, I'm not seeing much that's amiss here. I think Encore should not be slashed since Ledyba doesn't get much of a chance to Encore anything. That's really all I can think of.

[OVERVIEW]
This is more of a prose thing but the phrasing here is kind of weird? You have the necessary information, but phrases like "chasms afar" don't sound right to me.

On a more objective note, decapitalize "Boost" after Rattled.

[SET]
I'd say remove Eviolite, Berry Juice is too important for rocks to be slashed away.

[SET COMMENTS]
Mention in that first sentence that Ledyba can set up SD against the fighters due to its 4x resistance to Fighting-type attacks. Rephrase the last bit from "never hold a candle to" to "should not be used over"

Ledyba can set up with Swords Dance against Fighting-types such as Mienfoo or and Timburr. Ledyba can also take advantage of these Pokemon using KnockOff Knock Off against it, activating its Rattled ability. After hopefully acquiring both a Swords Dance and Rattled boost, Ledyba should try to get off as many attacks as it can with its coverage moves. However, due to its four times 4x weakness to Stealth Rock and the necessity of setting up with Swords Dance as well as being Knocked Off hit by Knock Off to accomplish anything, Ledyba should never be used over better Flying-types such as Vullaby and Doduo.
