Summary

Articuno is a Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

Type: Ice / Flying

Abilities:

  • Vital Spirit: Prevents the Pokémon from falling asleep, ensuring it remains active and alert during battle, which is especially useful against sleep-inducing moves.
  • Anger Point: When struck by a critical hit, this ability maximizes the Pokémon's Attack stat, turning a potentially dangerous situation into an offensive advantage.

Physical Characteristics:

In Battle:

  • Demonstrates particular effectiveness against Normal, Ice, Rock, Dark, and Steel type Pokémon, making it a valuable team member
  • Must be carefully managed against Psychic, Flying, and Fairy type moves due to type disadvantages that can quickly turn the tide of battle
