Strategy Overview
Are you looking for a solid Toxic Spikes user in NU? Well then, keep looking. Ariados is horribly outclassed by Roselia and Garbodor which all have greater bulk, access to both Spikes and Toxic Spikes, and even greater offensive stats and movepools. It has Insomnia and Sucker Punch, which are things the other three don't, but unless those two tiny niches are absolutely vital to your team, Ariados's terrible stats and mediocre Attack just don't cut it in NU.
