The card depicts Dark Ariados in a moment of poised stillness, its long legs and distinctive markings creating an intricate silhouette against a muted background. The atmosphere feels tense, as if the Pokémon is preparing to spring into action, embodying both elegance and a hint of menace. This snapshot captures the essence of a creature that thrives in the shadows, weaving its web with purpose and intent. Dark Ariados stands as a reminder of the delicate balance between beauty and danger in its world.
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.
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.
