Dark Ariados
Oracle Text
Attack Entangle: If your opponent has any Benched Pokémon, choose 1 of them and switch it with the Defending Pokémon, then flip a coin. If heads, the new Defending Pokémon is now Paralyzed.
Attack Poison Bind (30): The Defending Pokémon is now Poisoned. Flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokémon can't retreat until the end of your opponent's next turn and if the effect of an attack, Pokémon Power, or Trainer card would change that player's Active Pokémon, that part of the effect does nothing.
Card Details
Set
Character Background
Dark Ariados from Neo Destiny is a classic control piece that turns the opponent’s Bench into a liability rather than a resource. Entangle can drag up a vulnerable Benched Pokémon and potentially Paralyze it, which is excellent for tempo swings and for punishing decks that rely on specific setup pieces sitting safely in the back. Poison Bind is even stronger in grindy games: 30 damage plus Poison is respectable, but the real prize is the coin-flip lock that can trap the Active and shut off switching effects, buying turns for poison damage to tick and for you to set up a better attacker. It fits best in a control or disruption strategy, especially alongside cards that spread damage or amplify status pressure, such as other Poison-themed Grass lines and retreat-punishing Trainers. Deckbuilding tip: pair Dark Ariados with gust-style effects and denial cards so you can force awkward promotions, then keep the target stuck long enough for poison and chip damage to close the game.
