Hi everyone. We’re reviewing Articuno this week. Hope you like
this…
This can’t be good. The legendary bird that is both flying and
ice types. Not a good combination if you ask me. 4x weak to rock
types. Which isn’t good. Its move pool isn’t the great either.
Its ability doesn’t really help, so despite its legendary title,
it’s not a very good option.
Now, the suggested move combination for this Pokémon. This time
only one. Try it, I think is a pretty decent combination for
Articuno.
Roar when necessary… Use toxic and ice beam until you need to
use rest. Repeat… Simple.
When should I use this Pokémon?
My advice would be: don’t use it. But if you really want to use
it, be sure your foe can’t use a fire or rock type attack. If
so, switch.
What should I use against this Pokémon?
Almost everything. Rock slider Gyarados, over heater Charizard…
The list goes on and on…
Bottom line:
Try not to use it. It is a Pokémon for pokédex-filling purposes
only…
Rating:
1/5
Hope you enjoyed.

Articuno's stats are high in
special defense and above average in defense
and HP, so a stall moveset works well. If you can snag Shadow
Articuno from
gale of darkness and open the door to its heart, he will learn
the heal bell
and haze abilities which work great on it. Its ice beam is
potent against
dragons and grass types. Another Articuno choice is a strategy
only two
pokemon can use: mind reader + sheer cold. Sheer cold is an
inaccurate move
that will only work on pokemon of a lower or equal level but if
it hits the
pokemon suffers a one hit knock out regardless of its remaining
health. The
mind reader attack ensures your next attack hits, so with both
together you
can KO any pokemon that cannot KO Articuno the turn it uses mind
reader or
has sturdy. If they switch after you use mind reader, the
incoming pokemon
has only a low chance of being hit by sheer cold. Beware of this
tactic in
level balance on netbattle as your articuno may be a lower
level. Such a
moveset could be:
Mind Reader
Sheer Cold
Heal Bell
Ice Beam
Another combo is to use a pokemon with the moves baton pass and
either
spider web or mean look. After the move traps an opponent's
defensively-orientated pokemon that cannot KO Articuno, the
baton pass move
allows you to send Articuno in but keep the trapping effect in
play. Then
Articuno's two turn attack can snipe the opponent down. A good,
versatile
pokemon.
4/5

Ability: Pressure
Nature: Mild/Modest
The ability you can't do a thing about but its good when you are
facing
someone that has BIG attacks with little PP.
The Nature is to raise it's Sp. Atk and not lowering it's Sp.
Def and Speed.
The other stats aren't oblivous here.
Here we have it. Sure not strong attacks but very special
attacks. He is
more for Specials but that Wind attack is good if you seem not
to be able to
hit your enemy.
Substitute for defense, Leftovers for life, Ice beam nad Icy
Wind to attack
and hope for a little or a big ice cube (Ice Ice Baby).
Well, he is my second choice of the 3 legendary tweety birds,
and he can be
very destructive if you do it right.
Ratings: 3.2/5
It is short this time but it isn't any more to say about him.
Carbunkle, over and out
