Ariados 10/214 · Lost Thunder

Lost Thunder is a set in the Sun & Moon series. It was released on November 2, 2018. The printed size is 214. This checklist is longer, at 240 cards. Ariados is 10/214, in position 10 of 240 on this checklist. Before it is 9 Spinarak, and after it is 11 Hoppip. The listed rarity is Uncommon.

Ariados is a Stage 1 Grass Pokémon with 110 HP. In the Pokédex this is Ariados (#168), generation 2 (Johto). The card says it evolves from Spinarak. In this catalog that name is Spinarak (#167).

Suwama Chiaki illustrated this card. The same name is on 102 other cards in the catalog.

Ariados (#168) has 17 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 16 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2000 to 2026. The earliest other card is Ariados 27/111 in Neo Genesis (2000). That card lists 60 HP, and this one lists 110 HP. Both list the rarity Uncommon. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Suwama Chiaki illustrated this one. 13 other cards of Ariados list a different HP.

The attack Trapping Thread lists 30 damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless. Whenever your opponent plays an Item or Supporter card from their hand during their next turn, prevent all effects of that card done to the Defending Pokémon. Poison Jab is another attack lists 70 damage. The cost is Grass, Colorless, Colorless. Your opponent's Active Pokémon is now Poisoned. Weakness is Fire ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "It spins thread from both its rear and its mouth. Then it wraps its prey up in thread and sips their bodily fluids at its leisure."

I keep a set binder for Lost Thunder, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Lost Thunder set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Ariados can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). I still need this card.
