Net = graded value − raw value − grading cost (tier fee + ~$20 round-trip shipping), using PSA fees as of 2026-06-28; the paused PSA Value tier is excluded so this isn't overstated. Real outcome depends on the grade achieved; PSA 10 is best-case.

Card text

Evolves from Spinarak.

Spider Web

Grass

Flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokémon can't retreat. (Benching or evolving that Pokémon ends this effect.)

Poison Bite20

Grass · Grass · Grass

If this attack damages the Defending Pokémon, the Defending Pokémon is now Poisoned and you remove a number of damage counters from Ariados equal to half that damage (rounded up to the nearest 10). If Ariados has fewer damage counters than that, remove all of them.
