In-Depth Analysis
With a base stat total of 400, Ariados plays as a balanced Pokémon with a flexible stat spread. Its standout stat is Attack at 90, while Speed (40) is the clear soft spot — build sets that protect that weakness.
Its Bug, Poison typing leaves Ariados with 4 weaknesses against 5 resistances. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. On offense, its STAB moves threaten 4 types for super-effective damage.
A catch rate of 90 puts Ariados in the moderate range — a few Great Balls usually get the job done. It levels on the Fast experience curve. Defeating it grants Attack +2 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
