Ariados (Japanese: アリアドス Ariados) is a dual-type Bug/Poison Pokémon.
It evolves from Spinarak at level 22.
Biology
Physiology
Ariados is a spider-like pokémon in apperence with a red body and black stripes with a unhappy face on its abdomen. Ariados has four yellow legs with purple stripes. Its fifth and sixth legs seem to have been moved on its back.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Ariados's feet are tipped with tiny hooked claws that enable it to scuttle on ceilings and vertical walls. It spins a single strand of a special string endlessly out of its rear. The string leads back to its nest. The string can also be spun from its mouth. It is hard to tell which end is which. This Pokémon constricts the foe with its webbing.
Ariados, and its pre-evolution, Spinarak, are the only known Pokémon that learn Spider Web.
Ariados can attach a silken thread to a foe, then follow the thread to its lairand attack it and any acquaintancees that happen to be hanging around!
Behavior
Rather than making a nest in one specific spot, it wanders in search of food after darkness falls. It will attach silk to its prey and set it free. Later, it tracks the silk to the prey and its friends.

In the anime

In the manga
Pokémon Special
Since Template:PSV, Janine is seen with an Ariados. She uses its string to help her scale buildings. It appears once again in Template:PSV, when she uses it to take on Falkner. She explains here that Ariados can spit string for making webs using its spinneret, as well as spit a different type of thread for attacking from its mouth. This second type of thread is so sharp, it even cracks the metal body of Falkner's Skarmory.
The Masked Man also has an Ariados, seen during his first appearance in Ilex Forest. The Masked Man uses an Ariados to combat Celebi due to the type advantages Ariados has over it.

Trivia
Origin
Ariados's appearance is based on the Myrmarachne formicaria spider, but with the prosoma and opisthosoma reversed, fitting with its Pokédex entry.
Name origin
Ariados's name is probably derived from arachnid, Latin for spider or Ariadne. Dos, the Spanish word for two, is used possibly because it has two stingers. Dos could also possibly be from the Japanese 脅す odosu, to threaten.
