Pokémon Go Articuno counters, weaknesses and moveset explained

Articuno, the Freeze Pokémon and the first legendary bird to appear in the Pokédex, is best obtained from Pokémon Go raids.

Articuno may have been one of the first Legendary Pokémon to appear in Pokémon Go, but you’ll still need a deep understanding of Articuno’s various counters and weaknesses if you want to catch it.

Like all legendary Pokémon, Articuno will appear in five-star raids. You may find that you need to team up with a group of trainers to defeat Articuno, but thanks to Remote Raiding, you can easily do it at home.

Articuno reappears during the Go Season, appearing alongside Zapdos and Moltres during July 2022.

Everything we know about Articuno

Articuno, along with Zapdos and Moltres, is a member of the first legendary trio to appear in the Pokémon franchise: the legendary birds.

With their status as the first legendary trio, the three birds have set the standard for what we expect from a legendary trio or, in some cases, a quartet. This includes sharing a type, in the case of the flying bird, a similar design, each bird reflecting its primary type, and when it comes to Pokémon history, having a master trio, which would be Lugia for the birds.

Zapdos and Moltres are the other members of the legendary bird trio.

Articuno is often considered one of the most difficult Pokémon to catch in the original Pokémon games (Red, Blue, and Yellow) due to its location at the bottom of the Seafoam Islands.

Not only do players have to keep their Pokémon ready for battle as they navigate this multi-level dungeon, but their journey is hampered by the strength puzzles they will have to solve. Even if you successfully travel from one side of the islands to the other, there is still a chance that you may have missed Articuno’s hideout.

For years, players have found themselves lost on the Seafoam Islands, wishing they had brought an escape rope, while Articuno sits in the depths of the cave probably laughing.
