I am going to give some tips for Articuno. Here are his card stats
first.
Name:Articuno Basic Pokemon HP:70
First Attack:Freeze Dry[3 Water Energy] Effects:Flip a coin, if
heads, opponent's active Pokemon is paralyzed.
Damage:30
Second Attack:Blizzard[4 Water Energy] Effects: Flip a coin. If
heads, opponent's benched Pokemon receive 10 damage each. If tails,
your benched Pokemon receive 10 damage each.
Damage:50
No weakness, Fighting resistance, and two retreat cost
Now that the statistics are clear, here is a combo I have created.
Combo:Gust of Wind + Articuno Note:Two opponent 60
HP Pokemon
needed.
Articuno uses Blizzard,get a head in the coin flip. Use Gust of Wind
to switch your oponent's active 60 HP Pokemon with one of your
opponent's benched 60 or less HP Pokemon. Use Blizzard to wipe out the
60 HP Pokemon you just swapped from the bench and flip a head on the
coin toss to wipe out the other 60 HP Pokemon.
You can do this trick with higher HP Pokemon. Your opponent must have
three 70 HP Pokemon and you must have two Gust of Wind cards.It can be
done up to five 90 HP Pokemon and four Gust of Wind cards.
Basically, all it is is this: 50 to one Pokemon, 10 to opponent's
bench.Swap opponent's active Pokemon with a damaged benched Pokemon
and beat him with 50 damage and 10 damage to opponent's bench,
knocking out previous 60 HP Pokemon. It takes more swapping for higher
HP Pokemon. This combo can really win you prizes cards fast, provided
that everything happens right and Articuno can withstand damage.
Here are some tips. Articuno is good to use as a staller if you have
weak HP Pokemon in your hand. If you play him in a Rain Dance deck, it
is strategically better to charge him up with Blastoise. Use Blizzard
every chance you get because it is better than Freeze Dry most of the
time.
That is all I know right now for Articuno. My name is Peter Floroff.
