I think Shiny Ariados needs a rebalance because as things stand most people like regular Ariados better because of Fell Stinger + Infestation combo. So, without further ado, here's my suggestion;
Current Moveset
My Changes
Change Facade - lvl 40 - 15s for Poison Jab - lvl 40 - 20s OR Attack Order lvl 40 - 15s OR Snatch - lvl 40 - 20s
Change Fury Swipes - lvl 60 - 50s for Infestation - lvl 60 - 50s OR Venom Blast - lvl 60 - 50s(I would suggest Lunge but not sure if there are many Shiny Ariadoses with Lunge)
My reason for these changes;
So, Shiny Ariados is bad. It loses a Dark type move and a Bug type move to get 2 Normal type moves. They don't help in PvE(as much as a bug or poison move would). And they do not counter Ariados' weaknesses on PvP. Ariados has enough moves to damage / kill a Psy type. It can dmg Fire and Flying types with its Poison type skills. It can also dmg Rock and Ground types with its Bug type moves. It cannot damage Steel types at all and Normal type moves does not help in any way to do so. Now, I know Ariados is not weak to Ground nor Steel type but due to its typing it can have a hard time dealing with them. Adding new Bug and Poison type moves would make it much more viable in PvE. Facade for Snatch can help it deal a bit of dmg to Steel types on PvP. I am not a PvP expert(at least not anymore), so I would love to hear from people who like PvP and USED SHINY ARIADOS.
Please feel free to voice your opinions, but I would especially like to hear from Shiny Ariados users because it kinda looks "good on paper".
