Description New Ariados, because I was never pleased with my old rendition of a realistic one. I love these guys so much, Gamefreak seems to hate them though... no new poses, no new art, no merchandise, no Megahorn.

At least Spider Web is still exclusive...? I guess? Nevermind Mean Look and Block...

It can learn Megahorn now, as it's one of Spinarak's Egg moves in XY.

Yep... though that means the shiny Ariados I caught in the friend safari can't learn it T_T

At least you've already gotten yourself a Shiny. I'm one of the VERY few who hasn't gotten a single one, though I do have Shinies in Black 2 that I want to transfer.

The shiny rate in XY is actually doubled, and it's heavily suspected to be increased past that in the friend safari. Here's a writeup I did on it - racieb.tumblr.com/post/6717341…

That's actually been proven, though despite my many encounters in the FS I still haven't gotten one.

Have you also tried chain fishing? I wasn't even doing it on purpose, just trying to get a Lanturn for my dex, and got a shiny Octillery

I haven't bothered yet and I likely won't, as I'll be transferring a Shiny Gyarados from Black 2. It's not one from HGSS, FYI.

This is one of my favorite pokemon. It really is a shame they never seem to get any new toys each new generation.

They can! And they're able to teach Spinarak ElecNet as an egg move

ElecNet paralyzes, right? I think I'll be making an Electrifying Ariados~<3

Bulbapedia says, "ElecNet inflicts damage and then lowers the target's Speed stat by one stage. ElecNet hits all opponents in double battles and all adjacent opponents in triple battles."

Also, it's a special attack which Ari isn't the greatest at, but it'd be a good payback towards Flying-types XP

It really should paralyzed, too. Oh well, I guess we need an item for that.

Weird, I looked up what paralyzing moves Spin/Ari can get, and it's only Body Slam (by FRLG/E tutor) and Secret Power (Gen3-4 TM, and depends on terrain.) Though I guess their main status thing is Poison anyway, it'd still be nice to slow things down since their own speed is abysmal

Yeah, Spider web is exclusive, and bloody useful. i owe my success at legendary catching to Ariados.
When you thing about it, Ariados is terrifying. It can stop you escaping from it with Spider Web, it can strike before you (Sucker Punch), and it can throw you around with its mind (Psychic). And that's to say nothing of the dex that says it follows its prey so it can kill its relatives.

I would so love merchandise of these guys. Was so disappointed when I searched for some and came up with nothing.

This is a beautious picture than makes me fear spiders less. <3

Octoboy-the-8th [2010-04-25 06:27:03 +0000 UTC]

I kind of liked your old ariados. It was surprisingly strokable for an arachnid.

This one's cool. The fact that it isn't inducing sheer horror in my heart partially makes me question whether you've correctly portrayed a realistic arachnid-esque pokemon, but when I think about it, that's probably just because you have a different view of spiders from what most have. Pretty cool 'mon there.

zeronomon [2010-04-04 16:44:48 +0000 UTC]

I'd always thought that Ariados was scary as hell (no idea why), and this just extrapolates that.

It's ridiculous, Ledyba and Ledian have gotten several plushes made over the years, Ledyba even got new art for no reason when FRLG came out... Ledian got a repose for HGSS as well =I I like the ladybugs but they're definitely playing favorites here...

Could be =< The only other arachnids are Skorupi/Drapion, though they are really cool. Maybe Metagross if you want to consider it a spider, I kind of do. Then there's a billion butterflies / moths / etc XP

Oh yeah.. Gligar can't seem to decide wtf it's supposed to be though, it wants to be a bat and a scorpion and ground/flying/poison/bug/dark simultaneously.
