Pokedex Entries
Game | Entry |
---|---|
Gold | It spins string not only from its rear but also from its mouth. It is hard to tell which end is which. |
Silver | A single strand of a special string is endlessly spun out of its rear. The string leads back to its nest. |
Crystal | Rather than making a nest in one specific spot, it wanders in search of food after darkness falls. |
Heartgold | It spins string not only from its rear but also from its mouth. It’s hard to tell which end is which. |
Soulsilver | A single strand of a special string is endlessly spun out of its rear. The string leads back to its nest. |
X | It spins string not only from its rear but also from its mouth. It’s hard to tell which end is which. |
Y | It attaches silk to its prey and sets it free. Later, it tracks the silk to the prey and its friends. |
Sun | There are some areas where people use the string Ariados spins for their own weaving. The resulting cloth is popular for its strength. |
Moon | It spins thread from both its rear and its mouth. Then it wraps its prey up in thread and sips their bodily fluids at its leisure. |
UltraSun | Every night, it wanders around in search of prey, whose movements it restrains by spewing threads before it bites into them with its fangs. |
UltraMoon | It spews threads from its mouth to catch its prey. When night falls, it leaves its web to go hunt aggressively. |
