#2 Ariados - Unseen Forces (ex10)
Ariados is a Grass-type Pokémon with 70 HP, featuring a retreat cost of 1 Colorless energy. It appears in the Unseen Forces set, released as part of the EX series on August 1, 2005. The card’s artist is Mitsuhiro Arita, and it is classified as a Rare Holo rarity. Ariados has two attacks: "Reactive Poison" and "Spider Trap." The first attack costs 1 Colorless energy and deals 10 damage plus 30 more for each Special Condition affecting the defending Pokémon. The second attack uses 1 Grass energy to put the defending Pokémon to sleep and poison it, allowing the player to switch a Benched Pokémon if desired. The defending Pokémon remains asleep and poisoned after the switch. Ariados has no resistances but is weak to Psychic-type attacks multiplied by two. Its design aligns with the series’ focus on strategic interactions and status effects.
