Low IQ: Spam Ice Stab. Medium IQ: "Your moveset must be versatile to deal with different situations". High IQ: Spam Ice Stab.
-
Worth it to note: In Snow/Hail Blizzard does not become 100% Accurate, it actually bypasses the Accuracy Check entirely.
-
“For the first time in almost 30 years, Articuno truly looked legendary” Spectacular ending quote. So great to see, what should be a powerful Pokémon, finally get to show what it is capable of.
-
“My child will use a variety of coverage moves” “My child will use Ice Beam, Blizzard, Freeze Dry, and Sheer Cold on an Ice type with Tera Ice”
-
I am so glad I caught this regional live. Everybody was so hype in twitch chat because the finals was between a guy who was undefeated and the guy running an articuno
-
It feels weird to see a pokemon in competitive with all moves being of the same type
-
Who would win? Several well constructed teams utilizing meta staples and powerful team comps, or a funny bird wearing glasses?
-
Seeing Articuno tank a fire Ivy Cudgel AND a wicked blow at the same time and shrug it off so effortlessly speaks that Articuno really is legendary.
-
*And Articuno learns FREEZE DRY, an ice-type move that deals super effective damage to water types.
-
I love how every time flinch comes up, we already know what clip is going to immediately follow.
-
Nah, it will only be a “bad” legendary once I hear about Silvally getting anything good sometime this decade…
-
That team was chill as fuck. It really iced the competition.
-
I think one of the best things about S&V is the fact that terrestrialisation has caused a lot of pokemon that were held back purely by type to be allowed in the limelight. It's been great to see the variety and I honestly kinda hope they pull a gen 3 and keep a new mechanic for the first time in forever (g3 referring to keeping abilities)

articuno only thrived because butterfree didnt exist in scvi. Rigged.

Honestly, I always loved Articuno’s design as a kid. It was enchanting. But as I grew older, I came to lament its place in Pokemon due to my understanding of its mechanics. Still, it remained my favorite of the birds. …so seeing this…kind of made me tear up a bit. It’s Pachirusu all over again, and it’s beautiful.

My favorite thing about Gen 9 has been the resurgence of older Pokemon in the Meta. Tyranitar, Articuno, Arcanine, Dragonite... it's really interesting to see.
-
it bothers me when people say articuno was never good, it was actually top tier in nintendo cup 97, the first ever competitive pokemon format, where it could spam nuclear 120 power, 90% accuracy, 30% freeze chance blizzards off its gigantic base 125 special and not have to be afraid of freezes itself
-
I think it's worth noting that Articuno was in fact on the winning team at Space World '97, piloted by Toru Miyazawa. Of course, this was with gen 1 mechanics, ~31% freeze rate ~90% accuracy blizzard, and Articuno was blessed with a 125 special stat at the time (which pulled double duty as both its special attack and special defense).

Rolling that 4 year old’s first pokemon playthrough moveset 🔥🔥🔥
