>What are Spinarak and Ariados?Spinarak and Ariados are Bug/Poison-type Pokémon released in Generation 2 that are comparable to the real world insect called spider, or perhaps more specifically a tarantula. This ties in with their ability to learn the likes of String Shot, Spider Web, and the aforementioned Toxic Thread, as expected of a poisonous spider/tarantula. This line is thought to rival the Bug/Flying-type Pokémon Ledyba and Ledian that are comparable to the real world insect called ladybug. Spinarak and Ariados can only be caught during the night in Generation 2 while Ledyba and Ledian can only be caught during the morning in Generation 2.
