ariados is for sex, not battle.

evolution

Trick Masuda into thinking its a Gen 1 mon

Give it access to every move in the game and wonder guard. Outside of that, there's no way

Technician fell stinger and give it more speed and attack

+100 speed
+100 attack
there you go user

Just give it a minmaxed 300 bst boost and tinted Lens, bro

Sticky Web on entry

increase its HP/DEF/SPD
give it an ability that automatically sets up sticky web upon switching into battle
I guess you can do some spider web + baton pass trapping

+80 speed and huge power
Next

There really is no way without completely gutting it.
You can give it a niche in OU, for sure, but it'll never be OU by usage.

It's always been a niche anti lead though it's just dependent on how good sticky web is

Give it prankster.

Should be good for UU/OU.

>be Ariados
>introduced in gen 2
>have a signature move in Spider Web that it lost next game
>fifteen years later, get a new signature move, Toxic Thread
This had to be some Ariados stan at Game Freak sneaking a pet project into the code when Masuda wasn't looking.

It's outdone by Shuckle in that regard, though.

I always thought that they buffed Ariados in SM because Guzma had one on his team, but then they removed it from his team in USUM.

Ability that automatically sets sticky web on switching in

Done

Change Toxic Thread into Toxic Web, a combination of the effects of sticky web, spider web and toxic thread.

0. entry hazard with 1 layer
1. traps the opposing pokemon
2. slows them by 1 stage
3. poisons them

An entry hazard that disgusting would just get Ariados banned. You'd be able to enjoy it for, like, a week.

but it's fucking ariados, it's shit

Smeargle would like a word with you.

if you are referring to baton pass,
the problem is that you can put the boosts on any mon
if you could only use it to boost smeargle or something i think it would be ok
likewise, toxic thread can only be used by ariados

Food for thought; Smeargle would like a word with you.
