Thoughts about how to use Ariados in Gen 7

[bertzky7]

Hello all. This is the first time I've posted to Smogon. I'm a big fan though. I've been thinking about how to use Ariados in SUMO and I came up with this. I'd appreciate any thoughts.

Ariados (M) @ Black Sludge
Ability: Sniper
EVs: 112 HP / 112 Def / 32 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
IVs: 0 SpA
- Toxic Thread
- Venom Drench
- Leech Life
- Poison Jab

How to use Ariados: Never use Ariados in ou ever. And welcome to smogon! Please read rules before posting threads like these. A mod will probably lock this soon. As to your moveset, while using Ariados is a bad idea, if you're going to use it, you should make it a lead with sticky web and toxic spikes. That is unfortunately outclassed by smeargle, who has every move in the game and shuckle has a better ability for a lead mon and a more useful hazard with sticky web. Again welcome to smogon, and we'll be happy to see you around here in the future.
