Spider-Web Move Detail
Spider Web is a Bug-type move with no power and 100% accuracy. Its primary effect is to trap the target, preventing them from fleeing or switching out. This move is particularly useful in situations where maintaining control over the battlefield is crucial, such as in strategies focused on trapping opponents to eliminate key threats. Introduced in Pokémon Gold and Silver, Spider Web is unique in its ability to ensure that the battle remains in the user's favor by restricting the opponent's options. Unlike other trapping moves, it does not cause direct damage, making it a strategic choice rather than an offensive one. Spider Web is typically associated with Pokémon like Ariados.
