Ariados (Japanese: アリアドス Ariados) is a Bug/Poison-type Pokémon.
Biology
Physiology
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.
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 Ariados, Amigos, Aya's sensei owns an Ariados.
An Ariados appeared in All in a Day's Wurmple, under the ownership of Forrester Franklin.
Harley has an Ariados.
In Following a Maiden's Voyage, some Ariados attacked Dawn and her Piplup.
An Ariados owned by J appeared in Mutiny in the Bounty!. As J proceeds to steal her victims' Pokémon, she has her Ariados tie up her victims with String Shot.
In DP071, Hajime used his Capture Styler on an Ariados and had it use String Shot on some Crobats that belonged to Hunter J's Henchmen.
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
- Ariados is the one of the few, if not only, Pokémon whose Gold and Silver Sprites are the same.
Origin
Ariados's appearance is based on the Happy Faced Spider.
Name origin
Ariados's name is probably derived from arachnid, Latin for spider or Ariadne. "Dos" could be derived from Spanish for "two" since it's the second in its evolutionary line, or from the Japanese 脅す odosu, to threaten.
