How Bad is Ariados in Pokemon Legends ZA Ranked Battles?!

Answer: Not very good. But fine enough. I found the old strat of Swords Dance + Focus Energy to just be too unreliable with how frail Ariados is. And with two slots already taken up for setup, I can't really slot Protect on it. So the First Impression machine miracle arises again to make Ariados viable (sorta). Thumbnail drawn by me, Greninja is weird to draw, but Ariados standing up is cursed. This fake spider is so weird. I love her, but also she was not meant to be drawn this way. #pokemon #pokemonlegendsza #ariados #ceruledge #swampert
