100% Ariados prestiger?

Evolved a 100% Ariados from a wild catch.
Level 27, 1262CP, Infestation/Cross Poison. I'm going to keep it, just because it has 100IV's. I'm just wondering if it has any uses?
Does anyone have any experience with something like this as a prestiger? What would it be best suited against?

Well poison pretty much has nothing that is double weak to it, not yet at least. It could be general use or good against grass I suppose though (if they aren't secondary poison type)

I/MH maybe, but what you got practically useless. But good job on 100% iv.

Could be useful against all those pesky Meganium, Bellossom and Tangela you see in gyms ;-)

But still, you're right to keep it as a trophy that could potentially be useful in future!

When I was talking how cool it would be to have status conditions such as poisoning, I thought that even Ariados might have its use. Because I have the exact same Ariados, just a bit smaller CP-wise. Never tried it as a prestiger because for my area one needs them around 1000 CP.

Well... Infestation/Cross Poison is its best defensive moveset, but Ariados maxes out at 16xx CP so not a very smart investment for a defender.

I have a bunch of Ariados around that strong from evolution fodder, but I'm always surprised how poorly they work as prestigers. I use them against Exeggutors, or Espeons when they have shadow sneak, but they always somehow manage to get squashed the moment they appear. Maybe it's because I often team them up with throw-away junk, then they take a charge attack to the face before they've even been there long enough to let me dodge.
