Attacks

Entangle
If your opponent has any Benched Pokémon, choose 1 of them and switch it with the Defending Pokémon, then flip a coin. If heads, the new Defending Pokémon is now Paralyzed.
Poison Bind30
The Defending Pokémon is now Poisoned. Flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokémon can't retreat until the end of your opponent's next turn and if the effect of an attack, Pokémon Power, or Trainer card would change that player's Active Pokémon, that part of the effect does nothing.

Artwork Description

The artwork on this card depicts Dark Ariados poised against a vibrant blue background, its segmented legs and sharp fangs ready to entangle prey, embodying a stealthy, cunning presence within its shadowy realm.

Playability Overview

Dark Ariados offers useful board control with Entangle and potential disruption via Poison Bind, but its moderate HP and retreat cost limit its viability in faster-paced competitive decks.

Binder Inspiration

Main Binder Theme: Creepy CrawliesPlace this card in a bug or spider-themed section of your binder. It works well as a focal point, surrounded by other Bug types or Pokémon that evoke a sense of the eerie, like Gengar or Mimikyu, to enhance the spooky vibe.Additional Binder Suggestions: Forest / Spooky / Dark Yellow / Bug Squad / Arachnids Unite
