Strategy Overview

Ariados is another one of those bad Bug Pokemon you find at the start of the game, but it can actually work well in a UU battle. That decent attack power, coupled with two great attacks is sure to screw a few Pokemon over, it can Baton Pass a few nice things to other Pokemon to benefit from, and it completely stops Hypno, Parasect, Jumpluff, and friends from mutilating you with sleep moves (temporarily). Yes, it is a weak Pokemon, but use it right and it can make quite a positive difference to your team.
