Through the power of min-maxing, GF managed to make the previously abysmal Beedrill into a decent UU mon.
Assuming Game Freak doesn't want to repeat the pattern for other regional bugs, how could they make the above three equally good or better without min-maxing?

>Huge Power
>Gale Wings clone
>OP moves
Butterfree has quiver dance, and compound eyes sleep powder. All she needs are better stats and a better typing.

Butterfree: Give it No Guard, and buff the fuck out of Speed so it can Sleep Powder more shit. Easy.
Ariados: Make it bulkier, and give it Mold Breaker so it can Sticky Web through Magic Bounce
Ledian: Almost unsalvageable. Have to rely on Pure Power to get it out of shitmon hell.
>>26849992
You could give Ledian a mega that mainly boosts his Attack, Pure Power and access to a bug variation of quick attack.

>Butterfree
why No guard? Compound Eyes already give sleep power an accuracy of 97.5% with no drawbacks.
>Ariados
Mold Breaker to just use Sticky Web. No one would lost his Mega spot for this.
>Ledian
ok.

Butterfree:
Introduce a flying type sound based move with low accuracy but high power, similar to hurricane boomburst. With bug buzz butterfree is now a better choice for bypassing subs and sleep.
Ariados:
A third stage with better stats, possibly bug/dark. Better niche moves for bugs, they should have the best multi-hit moves. It also has access to great entry hazards, so maybe some kind of bug reflect/light screen to make it a better support and allow it to set up easier. "Protective Web"
Ledian: Evolution with better stats. Maybe even bug/fighting with iron fist still. Give a signature bug punch move with a side effect like a high chance to flinch.
