Ariados's egg groups: Bug

The egg moves for Ariados are listed below, alongside compatible parent Pokémon it can breed with.

You will need to breed a female Ariados with a compatible male Pokémon, with the male (for Gen 2-5) knowing the egg move in question. Alternatively, if you already have a Ariados with the egg move it can breed with Ditto.
