Ariados questions

Is Ariados a PokéSurvivor starter?

No. Ariados joins the collection from the Johto gacha, or as a wild shiny if you defeat one.

What type is Ariados in PokéSurvivor?

Ariados is Bug / Poison. Attack type follows the move, not the Pokémon, so a Normal move such as Tackle still deals Normal damage.

Can Ariados be shiny?

Yes. A wild Ariados is shiny at 1/4096, and a gacha copy is shiny at 1/100. Defeating the wild shiny adds it to the collection.

Is Ariados a rift legendary?

No. Ariados can appear in waves. If its BST sits in a boss band, it can also be one of the five timed bosses.
