    Spinarak / Ariados vs Durant

    These two species are both spider-like Pokemon. Who do you like more, Spinarak's family or Durant?

    Similarities:

    • Both are bug-like Pokemon.
    • Both Pokemon are at least Bug-typed.
    • Spinarak and Durant both have six legs.
    • Others that I may have forgotten.
    Differences:

    • Spinarak and Ariados are also Poison-types, and Durant is a Steel-type.
    • Spinarak can evolve, Durant cannot.
    • Others that I can't think of.
    So, which Pokemon will you pick? Personally, I like Ariados. My vote goes to them, Spinarak and Ariados.

    • Durant always reminded me more of an ant...thus the name. XD

    Either way, Ariados for sure. Access to grass, ghost, and psychic attacks make for a surprisingly diverse bug-type. :D

    • Yeah, I think Durant's more of a ant-based pokemon. D;

    But, I do prefer Ariados myself; lots of good moves avalible, and I feel you can do alot more stuff with him.

    • Spinarak and Ariados are more comparable to Joltik and Galvantula than Durant (the Spinarak and Joltik lines are based on spiders while Durant is based on an ant).

    Anyway, I like Durant better because it's strong and fast. Its Special stats let it down, though.

    • Well, I do like Durant but Spiniarak/Ariados has always been my near to favourite Pokémon so Ariados :)
    On another note, is it me or is it likely that posibily in Gen 6, Durant will get an evolution, it just seems too small to be a final evolutioned Pokémon.

    Click to expand...

    Wouldn't be surprised, though Seviper and Zangoose have a similar relationship as Durant and Heatmor and they never got an evolution. :( Guess it could go both ways really.

    As for the topic itself, I'd have to go with Ariados. Not big on the steel ant, and to be honest... I don't think it can compare to spider-based Pokemon. :P A more appropriate comparison would have been Ariados and Galvantula.

    Durant's supposed to more of an ant-based Pokémon because it's the counterpart to Heatmor, who's based on an anteater.

    That said, I prefer Durant over the Spinarak family. From a typing perspective, I've always really liked Bug/Steel types.

    Durant is named after a basketball player on OKC... So yeah.

    But of course I like original concepts more than newer ones.

    Eh I'd go with ariados.
