Abilities

Poké-Body: Gluey Slime
As long as Ariados is in play, each player must pay an additional Colorless to retreat his or her Active Pokémon. Gluey Slime can't make a player pay more than an additional Colorless to retreat a Pokémon, even if there is more than 1 Ariados in play.

Attacks

Spider Force20+
Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 20 damage plus 10 more damage. If tails, this attack does 20 damage and the Defending Pokémon is now Paralyzed.

Artwork Description

The artwork on this card depicts Ariados poised on a smooth, curved surface, its segmented yellow and purple legs spread wide, casting a shadow, with its sharp, white horn and intense eyes focused menacingly ahead.

Playability Overview

Ariados’s ability to increase retreat costs can strategically disrupt opponents’ flexibility, but its reliance on coin flips and moderate damage limits consistent offensive pressure.

Binder Inspiration

Main Binder Theme: Bug's HavenPlace Ariados in the center of a bug-themed page. Its vibrant colors and distinctive design make it a great focal point. Surround it with other Bug types to create a cohesive look, highlighting the diversity of this Pokémon category.Additional Binder Suggestions: Forest / Playful / Bright Yellow / Insect World / Web Builders
