You were hiking one day, and you fell into the web of an Ariados! It doesn’t seem to be very aggressive, though... It actually seems extremely friendly! How odd.

This Ariados is a level 30 Bug-Poison type, which has the ability Insomnia, which stops ir from being forced to fall asleep, and knows the following moves:

• Toxic Thread, a Poison-type move that restrains and envenoms the target.

• Poison Jab, a Poison-type move where Ariados jabs with its leg, after secreting a powerful venom onto it.

• Bug Bite, a Bug-type move that involves Ariados biting its target. If the target has a berry with a special effect, Ariados eats the berry too and gains the effect.

• Megahorn, the strongest Bug-type move, where Ariados recklessly lunges at a target and gores them with its horn.

Ariados is a red arachnid Pokémon that resembles a spider. It has purple eyes, a pair of white mandibles, and a white horn on its forehead. Around its abdomen are two black stripes and there are two black spots and a yellow spinneret on its rear. The spots and spinneret together form a pattern similar to a face. Ariados can produce thread from both its spinneret and its mouth. It has four yellow legs with two purple bands each; on its back are yellow structures similar to its legs with a single purple stripe each. Its feet are tipped with tiny hooks that allow it to climb ceilings and vertical walls.

Ariados makes its nest in the depths of temperate and tropical forests and leaves after dark to hunt prey. Ariados never rest in a specific place while hunting. While Ariados wanders in search of prey, it spins a single thread from its rear that leads back to its nest. When prey is captured, it is wrapped in thread and then attacked by fangs. Ariados then drinks the victim's bodily fluids at leisure. Sometimes, it will instead release prey with only a single thread attached. The thread is then followed to both the caught prey and its friends.
