Ariados in Polished Crystal

Bug / Dark — where to catch it, what it learns, and how it differs from the official games.

Compared with the official games

Stats Speed 40 → 80 (total 400 → 440)
Type Bug / Poison → Bug / Dark

Compared against present-day official data. The Fairy type and hidden abilities arrived after Pokémon Crystal, so a difference here can belong to the series rather than to this hack.
