>>50927566The last time Ariados was in an actual tier was in gen 5, and it was SHIT
so, lets make it not shit, for the modern day.
I plan on making this spider, like most spiders, a glass cannon. 70 -> 40 HP, and 30 in both defenses. This grants us 100 BST points to play with, but this Beedril level minmaxing isnt done yet. Ariados only uses physical moves, so we can drop the SpA to 30, leaving us with 130 points to drop in speed and attack.
Ideally, i'd distribute the points as such: 40/130/30/30/30/130. Now, Ariados is very fast, and very powerful. Giving it Gunk Shot, First Impression, and Poison Jab will allow it to use its STAB very effectively, and if it can afford it, still drop a web, now doing so first. Finally, since it can use Electroweb, letting it use Spark wont hurt.
I feel as though these changes will let it be OU, without adding any extra BST.
