Stage 1 — Grass

Spider Web (Grass)

Flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokémon can't retreat. (Benching or evolving that Pokémon ends this effect.)

Poison Bite (Grass, Grass, Grass) 20

If this attack damages the Defending Pokémon, the Defending Pokémon is now Poisoned and you remove a number of damage counters from Ariados equal to half that damage (rounded up to the nearest 10). If Ariados has fewer damage counters than that, remove all of them.

HP 60

Evolves from Spinarak

Weakness Fire ×2

Retreat 1

It spins string not only from its rear but also from its mouth. It's hard to tell which end is which.
