What is a good competitive moveset for Ariados? These builds have been optimized for Pokemon competing in Gold/Silver Single Battles. The movesets and EVs have been specifically calibrated to deal the most amount of damage to the largest group of potentially common opponents and typing threats for the Gold/Silver generation metagame.
Ariados is popular Bug and Poison-typed Pokemon. It's usual to see Ariados show up as a Gold/Silver opponent. This Pokemon deserves to see more play in the meta. There were no known abilities back in the Gold/Silver Pokemon games. Ariados is weak to Fire, Flying, Psychic, and Rock-typed attacks.
Ariados is a fabulous Physical Sweeper. It is designed to take down the opponent's team with brute physical power. Back before Generation IV, a move's damage category was determined by its type.
♦ Sludge Bomb is a physical STAB-boosted 90-base power Poison-type move (30% chance to poison the target). ♦ Poison Sting is a physical STAB-boosted 15-base power Poison-type move (30% chance to poison the target). ♦ Return is a physical 0-base power Normal-type move (max 102 power at maximum happiness). ♦ Hyper Beam is a physical 150-base power Normal-type move (Ariados cannot move next turn). ♦ Night Shade is a physical 0-base power Ghost-type move (does damage equal to your Ariados's level). ♦ Dig is a physical 60-base power Ground-type move (digs underground turn 1, strikes turn 2).

Note: The damage listed here under Versus is not actually calculated using the in-game damage formula. It is simply calculated using typing weaknesses and resistances from the selected type-matchup modifier along with STAB (if applied) to help sort through and give a general idea as to how powerful certain moves might be towards that selected typing after modifiers are applied. Several moves listed here may have additional effects that might alter actual damage output which are not factored on this specific list. Use damage calculators to find actual damage amounts.
